I mentioned on the Wednesday watching post that I’ve recently hit a string of podcasts about messy relationships between young women and older men, which often end in violence. As I listen to them, it’s making me rethink a lot of assumptions I’ve had about these relationships and sort of unpack how I feel about them.

DO NOT read this without seeing the movie! It’s a film that will reward re-watching, but you really should experience it first without knowing what is coming, it was built to provide surprises, let the film do what it was intended to do. And then, AFTER watching it, come back here to discuss.
