Viewing Notes
Really wanted to watch this after my last viewing of HEART EYES but couldn’t squeeze it in.
Crazy that there is a Criterion release for this movie yet the version on Prime is total garbage. Had to view via my laptop just to make it look somewhat presentable. Also had a glitch every couple of minutes.
