Fair warning, this is a VERY dark romantic comedy.

But also an incredibly good one.

Personally, I loved it.

Granted, it won't be anywhere close to everyone's cup of tea, but if you like darkly comedic material - where the "laughs" (or, rather, awkward chuckles) come mostly from the cringiest, most anxiety-inducing moments, you'll probably be into it as much as I was.

To that end, the most notable aspect is the much buzzed-about twist. Though, it happens just half-an-hour in, thus becoming the movie's central premise, so "twist" might not be the proper word. It's just that it's been kept completely out of the marketing - though hinted at - but makes for something pretty unique. All I know is that I've never seen anything like it, it's very well done, and I'd go into it as spoiler-free as you can...

Caught this last night. Most of our group really enjoyed it. I thought Pattinson was great and really liked the twist. I also felt they stuck the landing. However, I doubt I could sit through another viewing cause sometimes it felt like watching an ITYSL sketch and I couldn't sink into my chair far enough, but well worth the price of admission.

We enjoyed it, other than the parts where Charlie is with kid Emma. When they had adult Emma holding the guns, it felt more in tune with the imagery Charlie was having otherwise, especially with the book that was on his desk.

Also feel like the maid of honor's behavior was super strange the whole time after the reveal.

Our audience was cracking up during that bit. It was sooo weird and awkward and borderline that all we could do was laugh nervously.

As for the maid of honor's behavior, it felt like performative victimhood to me. I thought that aspect was the most poignant, because it's so true to how so many on the left are now, re: cancel culture/purity test bull***** In other words, just having a complete lack of empathy so that one can feel superior, play the victim, etc (which is obviously something both sides do). I thought these two tweets summed it up nicely...

Right there with you. I doubt I ever watch it again, but I'm glad I did, especially with an audience.
