Viewing Notes

Made the right decision in seeing this at the Drafthouse with a crowd that both enjoyed the film and were respectful of their fellow audience goers. Although, it would be fun to see this at an AMC and watch people walk out.

Stone and Dafoe are great as expected, but I have to say I loved Ruffalo in this!

And can we please have more movies with nudity and fucking in them like the adults we are? All this purity bullshit in cinema is getting on my fucking nerves.

Glad you were able to see this and at the Drafthouse. I’m debating going for round two now that I’ve had enough time to process it. And yes to all the nudity and fucking in modern movies! Kinda the exact movie needed right now given that purity discourse.
