So.... without spoilers, the incident in question is a charged topic to say the least, wow 😳
Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are an adorable couple, but the way one piece of information changes the tone of even the most mundane interactions for them is fascinating. Not a movie for those who want easy answers to easy questions, will definitely make a lot of people uncomfortable, but it’s a very interesting one to discuss.
Basically, I had a great time!
I laughed, I cried, I was stressed (even though I've read the book twice). It was great! Did seeing it in IMAX, on a giant screen, add to my experience? Probably. Most likely.
