    As someone who works in mental health, I’ve heard a loooot of shady stuff about Better Help
  • @Morphed626
    Better help is a company that sold confidential user information and was fined for it. I don’t feel like they should be promoted as a company
  • @gavinkane7222
    I understand you have to pay the bills but I would maybe drop Better Help as a sponsor for the reasons others have already commented.

    The film score almost steals the show, and credit Reznor and Ross, they are putting some of the best scores over the past several years. This film is special. I’ve seen it twice and it’s just a well crafted and acted film.

    If toxic people are going to be in relationships, I’d rather see them with other toxic people instead of narcissists being with empaths and gaslighting them.

    Better help is terrible to the point you seem shady by sponsoring them. -just a fan that been here over a decade

    The problem with toxic relationships in drama movies isn't that they exist, it's that they get romanticized and portrayed as desirable. Not all the time, but often enough.

    "My Dinner with Andre" featured two people who got along and went for coffee and I loved it.

    I would have never thought that the Potion Seller would one day write a screenplay for an Oscar-nominated filmmaker like Luca Guadagnino
  • *Spoiler warning, since I saw an advanced screening* There's a subtle detail about Tashi's daughter. Tashi says "our daughter" while talking to Patrick, but it is vague whether she is referring to Art or Patrick as the father! I noticed the girl had curly black hair, but it's Patrick who has that hair texture.

    I don't think toxic relationships are needed for romance like action is for action movies. The conflict in a story can come from outside as well as inside normal relationships. Toxic relationships are too often normalized.

    I have been a fan of Mike Faist for 12 years and I am SO HAPPY everyone is finally realizing he is an amazing actor. Hope he has a great career!

    Why do so many people want reviews for bad movies? I'd rather focus on the ones that are interesting or worth my time. I don't care for joining hate trains for movies I won't even watch. I'm all for Chris' format, personally. There are plenty of reviewers out there to choose from when it comes to dunking on films

    DO NOT USE BETTER HELP! THEY ARE NOT BOARD CERTIFIED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS!!!

    Zendaya's daughter??!?! For some reason, I can't picture her playing as a Mom. I think I've watched too much Euphoria & Spiderman. Lol

    About the loud soundtrack… from the recent GQ interview with Reznor and Ross: “Then Guadagnino brought them Challengers, which will be released this month. Reznor said, “He started us down a path, saying, ‘What if it was very loud techno music through the whole film?’ ” (This is exactly what it turned out to be.)” “I wish I had his notes,” Ross said of Guadagnino. “His notes were so fucking funny on what each piece was meant to do.” “Oh, yeah,” Reznor said. “ ‘Unending homoerotic desire.’ It was all a variation on those three words.”
