When Doyle says "How do you do" and you suddenly realize where MF DOOM got that sample in "Bistro" from. lol

A fantastic murder mystery that does so much with so little. This has been on my watchlist for a while because I didn't expect such a static and minimal setup to be so compelling. I was wrong!

Oh and I was pleasantly surprised how emancipated and dope the female characters are compared to other movies from the same era.

Also, being sick in bed for four days already this felt weirdly relatable.

Pretty incredible. (Might have shed a tear).

So much to love about this, but what stood out to me the most was:

- the tempo!! This was the case with all PT Anderson movies I watched so far, but in this one the 3 hours really went by in an instant 

- the characters! I feel like the amount of protagonists could have easily made it too convoluted, but through their shared experiences and traumas, they tie together surprisingly well.…

Wow what a ride. Such a creative concept and they really went all the way with it.

Bit of a bummer that it was shot in the worst era of cinema so it looks like a 480p YouTube video, but the writing and performances more than make up for it. 

If you're not convinced yet, imagine a 2000s version of severance ;)

Idk this pseudo-woke cottage-core slick-back whiteboy beige Instagram feed musical didn't really do it for me 😭
