So everyone loves it, but somehow there's fear it will not connect with wide audience? )

I really hope we get this. It says wide but so did a handful of other movies we never got.

It won't. Even though it has a clear and easy to follow narrative, it's beyond insane. But it's more accessible than something like TITANE because the desire to be young and beautiful is a universal one.

lol my mom told me she wanted to see this with me because she's a big Demi Moore fan. Which like...valid, but um...I hope she's okay with the supposed insanity that unfolds.

All the Reagan-heads pulling up for this after watching Dennis Quaid’s performance in that (still think it’s pretty funny these two are releasing like a month apart)

Is there anyway to set up a camera to record her reaction? This is one movie which I’m dying to see reactions from people that are expecting some kind of Demi Moore movie.

Well she knows it has a body horror thing going on, so she's not totally blind. And she does like "weird movies", especially if they won awards and have a good, feminist message she likes (Shape of Water, Poor Things). So hey! She'll probably like this, even when it gets to weirdo territory...I hope.

I hope this isn't another Infinity Pool, another film critics loved but it ended up as something else that was marketed. Left me leaving the theater bitter.
