    • Quotes

      Ziggy: I'll have a logically good thought but my feeling is still bad and that just kills me because that means my thoughts and my feelings are disconnected and I could be the most popular songwriter in the world but it still won't solve any real problems. Because no matter what I do in this world, I'll always kinda have a lingering pain

    Awful. Just Awful
    How many ways can I say how awful this is? It's as slow as a turtle, the characters have no redeeming value and the you wonder why anyone would write this. How was this financed? Who would watch this movie and think, I have to get this made. Julianne Moore's talent is wasted here. She plays a strange mother and wife, who's husband describes as a narcissist. She develops a crush on a new resident at here shelter for abused women. You would think that would make her more likable but the resident is a high school boy. The son, played by Finn Wolfhard, is even worse. He yells and curses at his parents like it's a normal day. And the ending does nothing to redeem anyone of them. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.
