Viewing Notes
Had to go up to AMC Northbrook Courts. Not ideal but goddamn why the fuck do they platform release this. Fortunately this screening unlike the previous screening I checked is not completely packed so I don’t have to deal with the weirdos.
Anyways, great film. Didn’t produce the waterworks I anticipated… until one particular scene during the wedding. Holy hell that broke me. Awkwafina is very good as billed. Everyone in this cast is very good esp. the grandma.
