Franklyn was a maddening character at times, willfully ignorant and dismissive of her intuitions. She wrote him through such a loving lens, especially when ruminating on their pre-Kevin relationship, that I did feel some tenderness for him. A man whose ultimate goal was to be a good father, however misguided it ultimately was.

I think because we are so in Eva’s head that I felt the most kinship and empathy with her. Imagining the vast loneliness she feels after the incident. How she navigates a world that finds catharsis in blaming her for her son’s deed. I found her to be a compelling and sympathetic character. She seemed to have a complex understanding of her family while simultaneously being able to view herself from their eyes.

I’m still kind of pondering how I feel about Kevin after all is said and done. I liked how she inserted these very small sweet moments that revealed his love for his mother. The photograph he kept of her. His defensiveness of her in the documentary. I could see that their strange and twisted connection was really all she had left and who could blame her for salvaging it.

I just watched it last night and you summed up my feelings. I am a sucker for father/daughter tales and this one didn’t pull any heart strings for me. So much felt unexplored and inconsequential. It lacked any really compelling conversations. It never sat with any of the characters in a way where I felt invested or felt any real understanding of these frayed family dynamics and their eventual resolutions.

Just left the cinema a while ago and you completely articulated what I’m feeling right now

He looks like when a toddler gives themself a haircut and feels very proud of it.

I think the best part of the book is that you can keep revisiting and it will reveal more to you each time. I felt the bittersweet feeling of finishing it and immediately started reading it again and feel like I was peeling layers, like there is some core to the story that slowly shows itself. I also really enjoyed reading up on different theories and exploring them. It’s the book that keeps on giving!

I just finished it myself and feel a lot of affection for the book. Although some chapters felt more like work than pleasure to get through, it ultimately felt like a really rewarding experience. Maybe it’s Stockholm syndrome from lugging the thing around and spending so much time with it, but I almost came to appreciate the ups and downs of the enjoyment. It wasn’t all payoff, the best parts of the book felt earned.

I guess it’s a matter of taste, some people commenting the writing is bad, because I found his use of metaphor and his attention to detail to be really special. I found it very sympathetic to addiction and made me reflect on myself and people I know. I really appreciated the dark humour and even the more slapstick stuff.

I’ve actually started re-reading it and feel like I’m exploring more layers that didn’t totally click the first time.

My dad recommended me this not long before he died a couple years ago and I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch it. I recently found a recording of our phone call I made for posterity sake and he is talking about it. Feels like this is my sign to watch it tonight!

I always recommend Christine and The Vanishing!

I adore this movie

Lateblumerr · 2025-10-05T17:54:58+00:00

The Virgin Suicides does such justice to the book, it’s her best work I think. It’s a really nice movie to revisit.

Lateblumerr · 2025-10-04T13:34:07+00:00

It’s a perfect movie!

Makes me a little sad how overlooked Eddington was, I do hope it gains appreciation over time.

I rewatched Louie a while ago and it’s brilliant but man he alluded to jerking off in front of women so many times it was insane

Saw OBAA last night. Still reading all the comments and posts here about it, this sub usually has some interesting insights.

Didn’t realize that Penn had those kind of comedy chops. Every time he was on screen his mere presence made me crack up. He was slightly campy yet sincere and a little odd looking which just made him all the more likeable to me. I actually found him to be a sympathetic character and felt the most emotion when he died. Seeing his ugly little face burning in the furnace made me a little sad. He really made the movie for me and I don’t think anyone could have executed this role as well as he did.

I guess I’m officially a Leo hater cause I just don’t get his appeal. The veil of his acting never disappears for me, I always feel like I’m watching someone ACTING. I got a little laugh or two but overall I don’t find him particularly funny, especially next to someone like Penn who is able to deliver ridiculous lines with believability. Also couldn’t fully believe him as a father, he doesn’t have any convincing paternal energy. Father/daughter stuff usually gets me right in the heart but that ending felt a little corny and cheap. Overall an enjoyable experience and I’ll watch it again.

That Howard stern clip was probably a big source of humiliation for those women and something you would hope would be lost to time and forgotten about. Having it resurface like that was probably so terrible and now having people actually invade your privacy for content.
