The non-spoiler thoughts: solid film, but it has a premise that will be triggering to many, and while I think the film justifies it, there are those who will not.

Great review!! Would you consider doing a video about Mad Men?

Maybe because I'm black british , so i don't understand the full context , but i do feel like the film would've benefited more if they centered Emma's race as black biracial woman/ girl as to what pushed her into planning a mass shooting at her school. They could've swapped her out with a white woman and it wouldn't have made a difference . Also Emma needed some black friends 🤷🏾‍♀️

I agree with you. I understand some people not being able to engage with it due to the twist, but they didn't do anything wrong with the marketing. I think no matter what the twist was, people would have been outraged in some way. Art can make you uncomfortable. But I think that this was a really solid film. Glad I saw it Friday night before I could get spoiled.

Great analysis, per usual. Well, I saw "They Will Kill You" and "The Drama." I found them both entertaining, I liked the later more. I think about the many flashes of thoughts happening from the main characters pov in the film, loved that. I guess you talked ne into watching "You, Me, and Tuscany" no sundress for me though. 😏

I think that while this movie may not have been perfect (by any stretch) I think it's fascinating what it has revealed. The discourse where people have been against humanising somebody who even thought about committing this kind of violence, has been shocking to me. Obviously I understand the impulse to say that somebody or something is inhuman. But I think it is utterly crucial to realise that they are human. The worst acts of humanity have all been committed by humans. And we will never be able to recognise warning signs and prevent this type of thing if we put people who do awful things into a different category of being. It's the same reason why I struggled to recognise I had an abusive family member. I thought abusers were evil. I thought somebody had to be horrible all the time to be abusive. And that person wasn't. They had moments and periods of time where they were kind and funny and nice to me, and to others. Dehumanising people never helps in my opinion. And to be clear, I get it if victims or their loved ones who are still in their journeys processing the trauma do not want to humanise perpetrators. That's not what I'm saying, I've been there. And I'm actually kind of anti saying that victims of harm need to always be the ones extending the kind hand and being empathetic. Especially when the victims are part of a marginalised group and are *constantly* expected to take the high road. But broadly, as a society, we should not be dehumanising anybody, including the people who have done the worst things, because what does that actually do? Does it prevent future or ongoing harm? Idk that's my two cents. Less on the movie and more on the conversation around it.

Also, the response both in the movie and in the discourse surrounding the movie to the (white) character who committed a heinous act of ableism that almost killed a child (which she laughed about) versus the response to the (black) character who thought about committing violence... I love being disabled. The response to violence against us is so normal and fun to witness, I'm truly having a great f*cking time on the internet 🙃 ^ sarcasm to be clear. The ableism has been and continues to be gross.

And last comment, I watched You, Me & Tuscany on my birthday with my mom and my best friend. We made pasta bc I predicted we would crave Italian food while watching (I was right) and had a blast. Fun romcom with pretty people and a pretty setting. Bonkers decisions by the main character which she managed to somehow make charming (I don't know if all actors could have pulled that off).
