#also I can’t believe how seedy Harry looked as real-life Jack

Did you like it?

I did! I posted a very insubstantial review on my (wildly popular) twitter lol. Basically I though Harry was very good, particularly at shouting and at wide-eyed beseeching looks. I thought Olivia was great as Bunny—her scene towards the end with Alice was the most moving one of the film IMO, along with the car scene (and the interaction that led to it) with Jack & Alice. I didn’t yawn even once which is very impressive considering I’m an old lady and it was past my bedtime and I’ve had a particularly exhausting week. There are a couple things I’m still mulling over—I actually wish it were based on a book, because it’s exactly the sort of film that had an interesting enough storyline to make me think okay I need more details, I’m going to read the book. I prefer neatly wrapped endings (a “3 years later” is ideal) but i knew going in that wasn’t going to be the case so I dealt with it. It was beautiful to look at, interesting, and I’m going to put some spoiler-y stuff in my tags ☺️

#SPOILERS AHEAD IN THESE TAGS #I REPEAT IT’S A SPOILER HABITAT TURN AROUND!! #okay so I saw a few reviews/reactions say the quick cuts where weird stuff happens #then Alice wakes up and makes breakfast again #were too indulgent or stylized or whatever on Olivia’s part BUT #to me it made perfect sense because essentially she’s unconscious? #and when you’re dreaming and you go from your own backyard to your elementary school to Paris in the space of 10 minutes #you don’t really question it? you just react to whatever is in that moment #which is why when you dream you’re at work naked you usually don’t stop to wonder #how you left your house and got to work without realizing you were naked #you’re just like oh shit I can’t believe I’m naked #ANYWAY #I thought all that made sense and ~felt like a bad dream feels #also I can’t believe how seedy Harry looked as real-life Jack #and he held himself differently? like I think he did such a great job I’m proud of him #but now I hope he never acts again because damn this has been stressful #(I understand he has marvel I’m just saying) #DWD #don’t worry darling
