honestly my main takeaway is that i actually want to see a clothing chain with entirely monochromatic products in each location. offshore manufacturing be damned they were serving looks

unbelievably original! the visuals when coraline reaches the edge of the dream world and when she's escaping the other mother's web near the end are actually jaw-dropping.

i liked when i wasn't really sure what was going on so they explained it out loud for me. like yay thank you movie <3

such a mess, in both positive and negative ways. i appreciate the moments that push the viewer towards a broadly empathetic approach to evaluating human behavior, but it's tangible that this is a movie about a very american situation written and directed by a european. nonetheless, credit where credit is due for how genuinely unbearable (complimentary) charlie's speech was, i had to avert my eyes.
