POSITIVES…
Opening scene starts out this movie in an explosively fascinating manner, that carries over for the rest of the movie.
Love the inappropriate sense of humor, especially considering the undeniably morbid premise that should be straight out of a horror movie.
The cleverly written dialogue and banter just kept me entertained over and over again.
So many pop culture references; especially about movies. I dig that.
It’s not all just jokes and giggles, as it still showcases some strong emotional drama.
There’s an underlying theme on social political commentaries, teenage anxieties, and helplessness about the world they live in.
Katherine Langford in the lead as Mara is so excellent in this. It’s hard not to be invested with her plot progression.
The romance she shares with Charlie Plummer as Dylan is great and charming as heck. Their chemistry together and the way the movie handles their love story works really well.
Supporting cast is solid, with Hayley Law, Rob Huebel, Piper Perabo, Yvonne Orji, and more.
Fourth wall breaking flashback montage, plus that other montage sequence with Tampa’s cover of “Bye Bye Love.”
About those stick figure people on the car window…
Excellent soundtrack.
NEGATIVES…
Can easily be accused of being too hipster clever precious and full of itself.
Seriously, an Ice Cream Truck?
There’s a tonal shift, that might seem like it’s ruining the fun.
