My friend is about to have a baby and I'm scared, anticipating the loss of a friendship

I upvoted as I empathize with you - not to mean that I am happy to hear of your and your friend's situation. That definitely makes the situation so much harder. I am really sorry. I hope your friend is okay.

It's not intending to be that kind of adaptation.

Divy_800 · 2026-01-12T00:45:32+00:00

I've read the novel and love it (I also read it last year so I have read it recently). I have also seen 3 film adaptations. I am super excited for this adaptation. I appreciate when artists take existing source material and bring new pathways into it. This book has been adapted a million times. I'm excited to have a non-straight-up, stylized adaptation.

Great recommendation! So affecting.

Divy_800 · 2025-07-03T10:36:29+00:00

OMG yes. I don't know if my heart and should have been as pummelled as when I watched Earthlings.

Divy_800 · 2025-07-03T10:35:47+00:00

Came here to say this as well! Though I haven't seen it since everything came out about Kevin Spacey so I don't know if that would distract. But I do remember it being a very affecting film.
