The mom telling the son as to why he's so different from when he was a kid, and the son only saying "sorry" feels so relatable. It's those times where it's hard to explain because you know they'd overreact if you tell more.
that's the part that hurt me most. My son just wants to find his way, and he feels so defeated sometimes when he can't, and I don't ever want to hear him say he's "sorry" for not being something else, but I know it's more of a "sorry" to himself, and the world, than to me. I know he'll figure it out, but it's hard to watch him feel defeated by the struggle.
As the mother of a 14 year old boy, I can tell this movie is going to be amazing. I cried just from the trailer. I love how this is going to be from both the mom's perspective and the son's. I am an idealist and I raised my son to be one of the one's who defied the odds and used compassion to change the world. His behavior as a young child led me to create expectations. However, my teenager helped me to see that those types of expectations aren't empowering, they are crushing for him and for me. I've learned to see the things he is doing are beautiful and impactful--just in a different way than I expected. And that who I thought he was at age 6 is not who he is at age 14 and it won't be who he is at age 20. I needed to let go of the expectations and just love him unconditionally and provide advice when I have something helpful to say. And most importantly realize that I'm still changing too. The best scene in this trailer is when the mother is telling her son in the car what she had thought he was going to be, but he isn't that at all, and he says "sorry about that." He says it so genuinely it reminded me of my son. He wants to make me proud so much, but without meaning to, I was expecting near perfection. And I also relate to what the mom sees in her job. I did absolutely incredible, compassionate, life-changing things when I was a kid and a teen. But I understand now that it was because my childhood was very traumatic. My children have safe, supportive lives. So instead of focusing on how to save people and save themselves, they get to focus on exploring themselves and the world and being creative. Its amazing when some people rise to the occasion in a horrible situation and become incredible human beings that change the world. But I wouldn't wish those horrible situations on to anyone even if great things come from it. I'm glad that my children get to feel safe enough in their lives that they spend their weekends playing instead of starting groups to rescue the down-trodden like I did. I did that because I wanted to be saved and I didn't know how to do that. I want my kids to also be compassionate, so we volunteer together and have discussions about psychology and sociology.
I'm mom to three boys and I already see this- the idea that the little boys who curled up on my lap and told goofy jokes when he was 4 will be the same at 10, at 15, at 20. It's just not entirely true. The thing is that you LOVE that young child and you don't want to lose them... but you do in a subtle, slow, changing sort of way... while you also gain a new, maturing child who is discovering themselves and becoming their own person. It's beautiful and fascinating but hard and painful at the same time. I hope I have the grace to let my kids grow and change as they should without putting my own expectations on them. I love them unconditionally and my greatest fear is losing them or saddling them with MY expectations.
So very well-said. Most of this is my story, too. My three boys are now in their 20s and the pain and reflection and letting go and wonder and love and sorrow and hope have continued.
As a 16 year old who experiences this from the other side currently, please let them grow with as little interference as possible. I mean that as in don’t try and change who they are. I grew up with a single mother the majority of my life and even I can remember how social and talkative I was with her when I was little. I told her EVERYTHING and as time went on she’d do things that made me tell her things less and less and I can’t remember what those things were of course but I made a mental note to stop telling her everything for a reason. Not too long about a year ago she came into my room and told me how I used to be such a sweet little boy and how I changed.. That’s definitely not something I’d ever say to my child but that’s what she did and I simply told her “I grew up”. And it only made me mad after the fact because it took me a minute to realize how messed up it was to say that to my face and think it would change anything. I’ve only grew more and more distant from her as time goes on because as I grow up I understand more and more what type of person she is. It hurts because I used to cry at the thought of ever losing her and how I’d never be able to live without her but now all I keep thinking is how bad I want to move out and really minimize communication with her. I know I stopped being the goofy and social kid as I grew up and even though I can’t explain it I know that it’s apart of life. I just can’t help but feel how alone I am since I’ve lost the connection to the only person who I’ve ever cared about. I’m just rambling at this point but at least someone on the internet will know even if you’re a complete stranger.
i know it’s not subtle or anything but the irony of him opening the door when she’s in the shower right after she opened his door and he got pissed was so funny
@conrad the irony is, he's being too harsh on her about respecting personal space and now he should be thinking, it isn't as easy as he previously thought.
I love seeing Alisha Boe getting high level work since 13 Reasons Why, she was honestly one of the most talented actors who worked in that show and it’s good to see her getting more roles
Jesse Eisenberg seriously doesn't get enough credit as a storyteller. He's incredibly talented. With him collaborating with A24, I'm definitely thrilled to see this.
@@HourCoolChannl A good number of plays... he's written 3 plays. He also got into trouble with Woody Allen's lawyers when, as a teenager, he penned a play about how Allen came to change his name and managed to get the script to Allen's "people". Instead of a seal of approval, he received two cease and desist letters. Eisenberg later starred in two films directed by Allen, To Rome with Love and Café Society...
@@Orion33759 Jesse Eisenberg should not get so much shit for playing Lex. Even if you don’t like the way he played it, it’s undeniable he’s a great actor.
Seems like a pretty universal story, the generational divide between parents and their teen children who have a drastically different world view as well as all the awful emotions that come with being a teen.
Or emotionless!!!! Parents: what’s wrong Timmy? Timmy: Nothing MOM!!! Just Die Mom!!! You never listen to me MOM!!! Parents: I just asked what’s wrong? Timmy: you didn’t hold my hand when you asked MOM! I Hate you, dad and billy…. Your fuckin dead, all of you guys are deeeeaaad!!!!!
@@iamOAKland I mean I was in that position, I didn't share because the few times I did were labeled as excuses or overreactions. If a parent doesn't respect your feelings in the first place, we aren't going to share them again. For further information see r/raisedbynarcissists.
Because teens make the best decisions? Parents are only assholes because everything a teen even thinks about, we’ve already been there. I’m so glad my parents laid down the law when I was a teen otherwise I’d be selling hotdogs in a cramped apartment with 2 roommates.
@@alchemist4evr I had and still have a similar problem as you. Except my parents are not narcissists; they culturally do no believe in children's emotional wellbeing. It's almost as if children are not real people. There's no point in talking to people who don't respect your feelings. The worst part is not being able to confide in them as a child when facing hardship. You make so many mistakes because you have no one to talk to.
Nothing about the trailer is emotional That it would bring someone to tears...as that person said you are Just overly dramatic and emotionally unstable.
I love the subtlety of her replying "No, no, I didn't say that" instead of "No, no, I don't think that," when he asks if she thinks he's stupid. Jesse Eisenberg never misses.
As a mom of a teenaged son this brought me to tears aged she says “ You used to be my little ally”…God, these years are hard but we’ll get through them 🤍🤍🤍. I can’t wait to see this with my son.
@@ljc3484 watching this together might be the the catalyst for having that huge conversation about fears and worries. This way, it's more likely that both parties will know what the other is taking about.
You've got the online shrinks battling it out over to see or not to see the movie with your boy. As a mom of a 23 year old man and a 10 year old boy, do it. See the movie with your son🤍
I think every mothers challenge is to separate themselves from their sons. You have to let your son be himself and try to test and see the world for himself. Let him be independent. My mother also had this problem when I was a teen, she was sometimes overreacting when I said some stuff. Sometimes trying to control me we had our fights, later on she backed off and I backed off. She realized she needed to let me try and find myself in the world and I later realized she only wanted the best for me. Of course the mothers love will never die away, and she will always have to say something to me but that is what I love even though I am sometimes annoyed by it. :) Just know, that forcing something doesn't lead to good things. You can try and guide him if that is what you aim at but guide him only when he comes to you, do not guide him when he doesn't ask for guidance. Then he won't listen. Look at me telling a parent what to do with their child. Anyways I am to stupid & inexperienced and also i am a 21 years old soooo sorry for this. :D Good luck with your kid! :D
Sorry but no! A24 became unknowingly a parody of themselves. Over pretentious zero entertaining low budget flicks. Yes there are a few good exceptions, but the majority is just a big no no
Thank you A24 for being such a reliable and consistent group of storytellers. Anytime I see that logo I know I’m in for a movie that does more than speak words and flash images. I’ve always respected Jesse Eisenberg as an actor but this looks to be where his true talent lies. This is the type of role I want to see Finn Wolfhard in, he’s a talented musician and a decent actor when he has good material and this looks like the perfect role to show the world that he’s more than Mike from Stranger Things. This trailer gave me chills and is totally relatable as I had a similar relationship with my father. Can’t wait to see this and more from A24
I keep on returning to this trailer. Something about it is so deeply comforting to me and feels so nostalgic, I’m very excited to see this in its entirety
Well go watch it then .... it's a bore-fest .... so much potential that never came close to delivering .... but maybe I just lack the pompous superior intellect to find the entertainment or meaning in this bland waste of time ....
Got to see an early showing of this last December as part of a focus group and it was really good! Performances were terrific all around and a really unique story. Highly recommend.
This looks so good, I can tell just by the trailer this is going to be heartfelt and emotional. I can't wait to see Julianne and Finn's performance together when this comes out.
I don't know why but this trailer made feel a tons of different emotions. The cast will surely give a dazzling performance and the story might bring tears to our eyes
I love the last part of the movie where Ziggy was looking straight to Evelyn's greatest achievement at the shelter and then Evelyn was watching Ziggy's greatest achievement. It's like two mirrors in different perspective of people.
*Just watched this movie. I dunno, I feel like the trailers promise way more than the movie gives. Spoilers below, but if I’m being honest I don’t recommend watching the movie. It felt really dull and slow paced mostly. Here’s my review:* I expected Ziggy to be a relatable teenager and his mother Evelyn to be somewhat of a future vision for me in case I ever have kids but they were neither. Ziggy is a horrible guy, and Evelyn is a bad mother. They are both incredibly rude and selfish people and make nearly everyone around them uncomfortable. Basically Ziggy’s whole story is that he wants to become political to get laid and Evelyn’s story is that she wants to play mother for this random guy named Kyle because he’s exactly what she wants her son to be, the latter even became creepy to a point where I thought the mother had some kind of sensual motives with the guy who’s still underage. I admit I was occasionally a brat in my puberty but it was really overwhelmingly exaggerated with Ziggy. They both learn (I’m assuming) that they were using these people for selfish reasons but then the movie speedruns through the end without a satisfying payoff so it doesn’t even really matter anyway. Characters who are jerks are easy to hate, but they can be likable if they are well-written like having them be hilarious or really intelligent to throw off and entertain the viewer. However this is tough to do as a writer, and this movie failed to do it. Ziggy and Evelyn come off as incredibly uninteresting and manipulative assholes, and they’re the main characters. Every time it introduces an idea that might make the two characters a bit more interesting and give them some sort of a background, nothing is done with it, it’s just brought up and then left untouched for the rest of the movie. If anything I was more interested in the dad whose name I don’t even know, Lila and Kyle but they were only there for Ziggy and Evelyn’s “character arcs”. Ever since learning about the mother’s job and Lila’s thoughts on the world, I expected this movie to have a dark undertone with maybe some comedy thrown in for a good balance. But this movie was neither dark nor comedic, I just felt second hand embarrassment through most of it and even skipped a few parts because I cringed too much. Like in the trailer, the dad brings up suicide among teens and I thought that maybe Ziggy’s socialization struggles might make him feel extremely lonely and depressed and that’s why he streams, and that near the end he might confess that he’s indeed struggling with himself. But no, it turns out he really only streams for money just like he said throughout the entire film, and when he talks bad about himself he only does it to victimize himself. There weren’t any good jokes that landed and I feel like any visual attempt at comedy didn’t even make me smile. So basically the movie failed in being both a comedy and a drama with a darker undertone. At the end I just wondered what the movie was even trying to be, and going back to this trailer I still don’t get it. Then some minor things, I also thought that the dialogue felt too scripted at times and didn’t flow naturally. The slang is very unbelievable, I’m 20 and my younger brother is 18, we both use/hear slang daily and the movie sounds nothing like it. The father’s struggle in the family is completely forgotten and unresolved. The music unfortunately doesn’t sound very good and the literal main theme is almost annoying and too loud and overstays its welcome every single time when it plays. The transitions could use some work. To finish of on a high note, I did think the climax was well done between Evelyn and Kyle, and Ziggy and Lila. At the start of the movie I was almost afraid that the movie would pair these duos together awfully but I’m glad to say it didn’t. Lila told Ziggy exactly what he was doing was wrong and disrespectful and I like how she called him “a little boy” like Ziggy’s own mother probably thinks of him. And Kyle fearing that Evelyn will be kick him and his real mother out of the foster if Kyle won’t go to college, this didn’t even cross my mind and I thought it was really subtle how Kyle simply went along with Evelyn this whole time because of this underlying fear. Nice job! I also think Alisha Boe and Billy Bryk did a good job subtly conveying their confusion and annoyance with Evelyn and Ziggy’s actions. Not too subtle so the viewer can notice, but subtle enough so that Ziggy and Evelyn don’t see it. You can tell that Lila and Kyle tried to go along with them to be nice but they were absolutely irritated and I want to applaud that acting. I felt the desperation and passion from Lila when she read her poem out loud, starting nervously but getting more and more confident the more she reads. I liked it! The camerawork is simple, but effective, I wish it could’ve done something more but it’s nothing to complain about. In a nutshell I’m just kind of disappointed. I expected more from a movie which has Finn Wolfhard and Julianne Moore in it. And I genuinely feel bad for being so negative about the movie when I like these actors. I tried to like it, I gave it a shot and thought about it for a while but in all honesty the movie is just kind of embarrassing and boring when it didn’t need to be. I’m sorry, the movie has its moments, and I get it was trying to do something different, but it didn’t work. I rate it a generous 4/10.
"you stopped being interested in anything outside of your own little world." - I kind of feel like thats normal for a person at his age though. We go through such stages. It can be pretty daunting.
It is totally normal. Mine is a toddler so maybe I’m speaking too soon, but it baffles me adults forget what being a teen is like. I have a strong memory of my teen years.
I absolutely loved the audiobook of the same name, but this looks like Eisenberg is taking the movie in a different direction. If y’all didn’t know, the original is on Audible and it really hits you in the feels. Can’t wait!
I feel like watching this movie will hurt me because I was that age once and thought I knew everything (well I didn't know everything) and now I am older I feel like I can understand both their povs. My parents really shielded me a lot and they didn't let me do anything outside of school. I resent them so much for this because I feel like I could have done a lot given the time and energy I had. Looking back I don't think I have anything interesting that happened during my teenage years.
I felt exactly that resentment for a while because my parents also held me back a lot in pursuing my interests out of mostly fear for me. I realise now thinking back from their POVs that they were just afraid of me failing or getting hurt, but those were also a way I wanted to grow as my own person, which they didn’t understand until I was much older. As a result now I’m still struggling with normal things, like leaving the house without permission or trying to make new friends/ conversing with strangers, people my age has probably mastered by now. I’m still shielded by the fact that I’m still in uni, but by next year I honestly feel lost on what to do.
@@elinfelicia382 take your time and allow yourself time and understanding to tap into who you are at your core. You don’t have to rush finding out, be gentle with yourself. As you go on that path, allowing you to be you by de-conditioning and then reprogramming yourself with you and your interests and what you like in your heart, you’ll find you and be more comfortable and true to yourself 🤍
You still resent them for that? You haven't grown up if you don't take the blame and responsibilities yourself. Time to stop blaming the parents if you're no longer a teenager. You're an adult, look at it from an adult's pov
This film is good, but I swear A24 can release the most straightforward, by the numbers, not particularly revolutionary trailer and there will still be comments going "a24 literally saving the film industry" or "a24 NEVER misses not once" or "FINALLY a story nobody has seen before is allowed to be told THANKS A24"
I was thinking this halfway thru the trailer haha. My fear is.. a24 becoming a cesspool of mediocre narratives with glitter dust sprinkled on top. That said, this film looks to be good though.
@@BeaverOne It's quite good actually. It's certainly not boundary pushing or anything but it's very much worth seeing. I think there's plenty room for films that are just "good" without needing to be "the best film ever made and the future of cinema and deserving of all the awards and..."
Getting some work? He's in It and Stranger Things, he's only 19 and he'll be able to make any film he wants to for the rest of his life. He probably gets offered 28 projects an hour.
@@DetectiveTrupo203 well I know that but eventually the show is gonna end and as of recent besides stranger things the only project I last saw his was ghostbusters.
@Mercy lol been a while? He's 19 years old, he's an internationally known rising star, he literally couldn't be more in demand. He will have as much acting work as he wants for the rest of his career, trust me. I guess a better way to say it is this: if you feel like he's not in enough new films, that's a choice he's making. Not because he's trying and failing to get casted in stuff. Moreover that's a good thing, he could be acting in every teen and young adult movie that comes out if he wanted to, but that would devalue his brand. The fact that he's being selective is good for him and his future.
@@DetectiveTrupo203 why you gotta write a whole essay? all I said it’s been a little while, which it has and yeah I know why, I didn’t mean any harm by saying that 😅
This movie is gonna hit home, just knowing so many people with parents exactly like this. Ignorant, judgemental and having their own expectations on what their "child" should be like, without actually trying to understand and love their kid for who they are
Songs as far as I can tell: 0:00-0:10 Happy If You're Happy by Matt & Kim 0:11-0:30 Excuse My Brain by The Aubreys (technically covered by Finn's character in the movie) 0:32-0:52 Brother by the Aubreys 0:53-2:24 Original song for the movie?
oh boy. the vibes are heavy in this trailer. as someone who has struggled with clinical depression since middle school, this might hit too close to home. cant really tell. can't wait
parents... where you never teenagers or something? honestly you cant possibly tell me you haven't gone through the growing phase where life sucks everything is stupid and everyone around you is dumb its totally normal people need to stop being surprised when teens enter this phase because pushing against it is doing more harm than good

I'm college graduate now. Working in office with Co-workers as ancient looking as Morgan Freeman. Anyway, one old-woman (my coworker) asked me if I'm a good daughter. It stopped me from what I'm doing. I stared blankly at the computer monitor and smile to myself and said to her, "I don't know..."--while I'm contemplating all the things that suddenly flooded to my mind, about childhood traumas, physical abused, verbal abuse, and even the words I heard from my mother bwfore that, 'you should have never born', hit me like a raging sea. And when my coworker said, "Ohh, you should be good. Daughters should be good to their parents...", all I could say is, "I--I don't know. I think, I am good. Well, isn't it good that all I know is places like home, school, and church? I don't know. I thnk that's good."...but deep inside I could hear my arguing to my mother, our shouts, my sarcastic remarks to her, and all the things I never tried to say to her face since I was little. All those things made me believe that I will never be a good daughter. But who are these people to judge anyway?--My coworkers. They never struggled to live in a life with an alcoholic father, or hit multiple times by anything just because you didn't get to do what your parents order you to do, or made you compare to other kids who's doing great academically. You never been bullied at school and lie to your parents that 'there's no teacher today so I absent'. You were never blamed when your sister almost died when she was only a 1 and half year old and you're just 4 years old, getting beaten up with broomstick or metal belt. And you were never called by your own parents like, 'Witch, stupid, demonic-child, useless, shameful,' and whatever words they could muster and at the end of the day, until you get older, you realized, you should've fought them, you should have stop those monstrous things they did to you so you won't feel suffocated and think about death as an escape. This movie mockingly and intricately features all the happenings in reality and it saddened me. Because I love superheroes or the one who saved the world. You know you'll love them if your world inside was falling apart. That's why you most need them.
@@yadirarivera2387well bcs that sentence kinda implying that “you are one of the bad ones”, “i fail as a parent”, “you are my failure”, “you are a fail project”…. Somethings like that
@@yadirarivera2387 Well, if you're not good, what are you? "I believed you would be good, and you *failed.* You're bad." There's so much packed into that that can really mess a person up. The implication is you could've been good, but you didn't try hard enough; you were too lazy to even be something as simple as being good. Or some inherent part of you meant you just can't be good. Or maybe you just didn't love mom enough to do what she thought you could do. She was wrong about you this whole time, and it's *your* fault. You'll never live up to her expectations (and shouldn't it be easy to be good? Aren't most people good by default? So what are you, then?) Imagine your mom saying that to you. Imagine being 16 or 17, and how final that would feel. Would you keep trying to do good, either for yourself or others, if you were just straight-up told "You're bad?" When it's your parents saying stuff like this, it can stick in the back of your mind for life. It can effect your confidence and sense of self. It's cruel to hand that complex to your own kid, and it's *really* hard to walk back once you've said it.
@@nicoleemenhiser8028 I’m going to have to disagree. I was told this in middle school when I was doing some really messed up stuff. I feel that some kids need to hear this because it’s something that ,like you said, can have a big impact on someone. At 14 it made me realize where I was heading if I kept behaving the way I was. It made me realizing that in that moment, I was letting down my parents. It’s like how most teenagers are unaware of the world outside of their perception. This sentence coming from someone who means so much to you can sometimes be what’s best for you to change.
Oh no, oh nooo, this feels so close to reality that the trailer made me tear up with Julianne's character AND Finn's character... Gonna need those tissues.
So many feelings from just a trailer ♥️ As a 31 year old mom of an 11 year old I relate to both the mom and the kid. I want to be a mom that “gets it” since mine really didn’t, though she tried, but I can already tell I’m fumbling. This parenting shit is hard man. Sometimes I worry I’m trying so hard not to repeat my own childhood trauma I’m creating entirely new shit 🙃 And like, creating boundaries when your parents gave you none is hard?? Like I’m still figuring shit out on my feet and trying to teach it to my kids like, “this is what is apparently helpful and normal, even though I’ve never seen it in action”. Pretty sure this movie is going to put me through the wringer, but I’m here for it 😅
@@nladyman This movie is the very definition of an indie film. Having big stars in it- writing/directing it doesn’t make it any less independent… I’m sorry my dude, but you are wrong.
It's weird to see Finn and Alisha Boe play in a movie together looking around the same age when he was so young during the first years of Stranger Things while she was already playing a high schooler during 13 Reasons Why.
@conrad lmfao, to be honest I thought it would keep the word in between the asterisks I added, but it bolded the word instead 🤣😭 I was too lazy to edit it. **BIG SIGH**
@conrad 🤣😭 omgosh, I have got to get rid of those videos haha. The only reason I stopped making them is because I looked to see if other channels made that sort of content, and got mad and immediately quit BECAUSE it already existed in the TH-cam world lmfao. Childish? Yes. I thought I had something going though for sure! I appreciate that so much from you, thank you! Somebody else said the same thing about my videos haha. I appreciate your humor as well
Just found out I'm going to be having a boy, and this trailer hit on a whole different level. I hope he will feel free to cry at movie trailers like I am lol
Love Julianne Moore. After being robbed for Boogie Nights she finally got her Oscar for Still Alice. She always delivers. Jesse Eisenberg is good in FX's miniseries Fleishman Is in Trouble. A24 has a great track record. When you see A24 or Plan B chances are the film is going to be good.
IVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS FOR SO LONG! i listened to the audio story a while back and ive been waiting for this ever since!! It looks brilliant! Very excited to see how they adapt it from the original audio form (i expect there will be a lot of differences)
"you were going to be my little ally :(" feels like a lot of millenial parents coming to terms with their aging gen z kids who have a different outlook than they do
Most genz kids have gen X parents, just like millennials. The gap really isn’t that large + older millennials did not have many kids/ younger millennials are already adding to the alpa generation.
holy shit we, as a generation NEED films like this. films that accurately portray this kind of 21st century perspective, and the normality of media and technology and mental health awareness etc. that comes with it. it’s a really interesting time for people of our gen to be growing up and it feels like striking gold when i find something that feels like it could have been written by someone of my generation.
Isn’t he the main character in Stranger Things, the show that broke the internet with its popularity, been cast as every teenager in every movie ever since including a Ghostbusters sequel, and is pretty much seen as box office gold for every movie that needs a white male teenager? How much more recognition could he deserve, considering he’s the least-liked character and worst actor in the main cast in the thing he’s best known for.
I know the Dad saying jazz is culture appropriation was supposed to be a joke...but I appreciated it. Yeah, appreciate the art, support the artist but respect the boundaries of another culture. Emulation is respectable when the culture it's coming from is promoted and honored as the origination.

Lyrics from song in the movie called Pieces of Gold Pieces of gold straddling paper All into nothing and turning to vapor The air is thin, the locks are set You lift your chin, she feigns regret [Chorus] Two high-speed trains on parallel tracks Running out of steam, not turning back Two high-speed cars on parallel streets Never gonna crash, never gonna meet [Verse 2] She can't contend with what I'm selling I can't pretend it's not for telling [Chorus] Two high-speed trains on parallel tracks Running out of steam, not turning back Two high-speed cars on parallel streets Never gonna crash, never gonna meet
Nice seeing a trailer where a lot was put into it without really giving the story away. I saw enough to wanna see more yet still have questions.... and it's a good thing
I love seeing so many actors from shows I used to watch. I know some of these actors are almost 30 and they're still playing at high school role, but it looks pretty good.
the final minute of the trailer? Ended with me tearing up, my fucking god, I’ve always believed finn is ready for these kind of roles and with lady godess Julianne Moore? Am so ready for it. I teared up because I think this movie will hit me so deep because of my process of discovering myself and my relationship with my family that I honestly, can’t wait to cry like a little kid with this movie
When the mother said “Something switched in you” that really hit me, reminds me of how I used to be happy, but now I have this sad empty feeling in my chest.

The mom telling the son as to why he's so different from when he was a kid, and the son only saying "sorry" feels so relatable. It's those times where it's hard to explain because you know they'd overreact if you tell more.
Tell us more.👀
Yeah, Tell us more...
that's the part that hurt me most. My son just wants to find his way, and he feels so defeated sometimes when he can't, and I don't ever want to hear him say he's "sorry" for not being something else, but I know it's more of a "sorry" to himself, and the world, than to me. I know he'll figure it out, but it's hard to watch him feel defeated by the struggle.
Yeah facts, if I tell my parents how shitty they are, they’ll just overreact.

As the mother of a 14 year old boy, I can tell this movie is going to be amazing. I cried just from the trailer. I love how this is going to be from both the mom's perspective and the son's. I am an idealist and I raised my son to be one of the one's who defied the odds and used compassion to change the world. His behavior as a young child led me to create expectations. However, my teenager helped me to see that those types of expectations aren't empowering, they are crushing for him and for me. I've learned to see the things he is doing are beautiful and impactful--just in a different way than I expected. And that who I thought he was at age 6 is not who he is at age 14 and it won't be who he is at age 20. I needed to let go of the expectations and just love him unconditionally and provide advice when I have something helpful to say. And most importantly realize that I'm still changing too. The best scene in this trailer is when the mother is telling her son in the car what she had thought he was going to be, but he isn't that at all, and he says "sorry about that." He says it so genuinely it reminded me of my son. He wants to make me proud so much, but without meaning to, I was expecting near perfection.
And I also relate to what the mom sees in her job. I did absolutely incredible, compassionate, life-changing things when I was a kid and a teen. But I understand now that it was because my childhood was very traumatic. My children have safe, supportive lives. So instead of focusing on how to save people and save themselves, they get to focus on exploring themselves and the world and being creative. Its amazing when some people rise to the occasion in a horrible situation and become incredible human beings that change the world. But I wouldn't wish those horrible situations on to anyone even if great things come from it. I'm glad that my children get to feel safe enough in their lives that they spend their weekends playing instead of starting groups to rescue the down-trodden like I did. I did that because I wanted to be saved and I didn't know how to do that. I want my kids to also be compassionate, so we volunteer together and have discussions about psychology and sociology.
I'm mom to three boys and I already see this- the idea that the little boys who curled up on my lap and told goofy jokes when he was 4 will be the same at 10, at 15, at 20. It's just not entirely true. The thing is that you LOVE that young child and you don't want to lose them... but you do in a subtle, slow, changing sort of way... while you also gain a new, maturing child who is discovering themselves and becoming their own person. It's beautiful and fascinating but hard and painful at the same time. I hope I have the grace to let my kids grow and change as they should without putting my own expectations on them. I love them unconditionally and my greatest fear is losing them or saddling them with MY expectations.
So very well-said. Most of this is my story, too. My three boys are now in their 20s and the pain and reflection and letting go and wonder and love and sorrow and hope have continued.
Beautifully written
As a 16 year old who experiences this from the other side currently, please let them grow with as little interference as possible. I mean that as in don’t try and change who they are. I grew up with a single mother the majority of my life and even I can remember how social and talkative I was with her when I was little. I told her EVERYTHING and as time went on she’d do things that made me tell her things less and less and I can’t remember what those things were of course but I made a mental note to stop telling her everything for a reason. Not too long about a year ago she came into my room and told me how I used to be such a sweet little boy and how I changed.. That’s definitely not something I’d ever say to my child but that’s what she did and I simply told her “I grew up”. And it only made me mad after the fact because it took me a minute to realize how messed up it was to say that to my face and think it would change anything. I’ve only grew more and more distant from her as time goes on because as I grow up I understand more and more what type of person she is. It hurts because I used to cry at the thought of ever losing her and how I’d never be able to live without her but now all I keep thinking is how bad I want to move out and really minimize communication with her. I know I stopped being the goofy and social kid as I grew up and even though I can’t explain it I know that it’s apart of life. I just can’t help but feel how alone I am since I’ve lost the connection to the only person who I’ve ever cared about. I’m just rambling at this point but at least someone on the internet will know even if you’re a complete stranger.
This is such a beautiful comment. Thank you for sharing this and you being you. You're doing amazing.

@@alchemist4evr I had and still have a similar problem as you. Except my parents are not narcissists; they culturally do no believe in children's emotional wellbeing. It's almost as if children are not real people. There's no point in talking to people who don't respect your feelings. The worst part is not being able to confide in them as a child when facing hardship. You make so many mistakes because you have no one to talk to.

As a mom of a 23 year old man and a 10 year old boy, do it.
See the movie with your son🤍
ok
I think every mothers challenge is to separate themselves from their sons. You have to let your son be himself and try to test and see the world for himself. Let him be independent. My mother also had this problem when I was a teen, she was sometimes overreacting when I said some stuff. Sometimes trying to control me we had our fights, later on she backed off and I backed off. She realized she needed to let me try and find myself in the world and I later realized she only wanted the best for me. Of course the mothers love will never die away, and she will always have to say something to me but that is what I love even though I am sometimes annoyed by it. :) Just know, that forcing something doesn't lead to good things. You can try and guide him if that is what you aim at but guide him only when he comes to you, do not guide him when he doesn't ask for guidance. Then he won't listen. Look at me telling a parent what to do with their child. Anyways I am to stupid & inexperienced and also i am a 21 years old soooo sorry for this. :D Good luck with your kid! :D

Thank you A24 for being such a reliable and consistent group of storytellers. Anytime I see that logo I know I’m in for a movie that does more than speak words and flash images. I’ve always respected Jesse Eisenberg as an actor but this looks to be where his true talent lies. This is the type of role I want to see Finn Wolfhard in, he’s a talented musician and a decent actor when he has good material and this looks like the perfect role to show the world that he’s more than Mike from Stranger Things. This trailer gave me chills and is totally relatable as I had a similar relationship with my father. Can’t wait to see this and more from A24
I keep on returning to this trailer. Something about it is so deeply comforting to me and feels so nostalgic, I’m very excited to see this in its entirety
Well go watch it then .... it's a bore-fest .... so much potential that never came close to delivering .... but maybe I just lack the pompous superior intellect to find the entertainment or meaning in this bland waste of time ....

I guess so
Exactly
"I'm right here, dude!" This line is brilliant.
*Just watched this movie. I dunno, I feel like the trailers promise way more than the movie gives. Spoilers below, but if I’m being honest I don’t recommend watching the movie. It felt really dull and slow paced mostly. Here’s my review:*
I expected Ziggy to be a relatable teenager and his mother Evelyn to be somewhat of a future vision for me in case I ever have kids but they were neither. Ziggy is a horrible guy, and Evelyn is a bad mother. They are both incredibly rude and selfish people and make nearly everyone around them uncomfortable. Basically Ziggy’s whole story is that he wants to become political to get laid and Evelyn’s story is that she wants to play mother for this random guy named Kyle because he’s exactly what she wants her son to be, the latter even became creepy to a point where I thought the mother had some kind of sensual motives with the guy who’s still underage. I admit I was occasionally a brat in my puberty but it was really overwhelmingly exaggerated with Ziggy.
They both learn (I’m assuming) that they were using these people for selfish reasons but then the movie speedruns through the end without a satisfying payoff so it doesn’t even really matter anyway.
Characters who are jerks are easy to hate, but they can be likable if they are well-written like having them be hilarious or really intelligent to throw off and entertain the viewer. However this is tough to do as a writer, and this movie failed to do it. Ziggy and Evelyn come off as incredibly uninteresting and manipulative assholes, and they’re the main characters. Every time it introduces an idea that might make the two characters a bit more interesting and give them some sort of a background, nothing is done with it, it’s just brought up and then left untouched for the rest of the movie. If anything I was more interested in the dad whose name I don’t even know, Lila and Kyle but they were only there for Ziggy and Evelyn’s “character arcs”.
Ever since learning about the mother’s job and Lila’s thoughts on the world, I expected this movie to have a dark undertone with maybe some comedy thrown in for a good balance. But this movie was neither dark nor comedic, I just felt second hand embarrassment through most of it and even skipped a few parts because I cringed too much.
Like in the trailer, the dad brings up suicide among teens and I thought that maybe Ziggy’s socialization struggles might make him feel extremely lonely and depressed and that’s why he streams, and that near the end he might confess that he’s indeed struggling with himself. But no, it turns out he really only streams for money just like he said throughout the entire film, and when he talks bad about himself he only does it to victimize himself.
There weren’t any good jokes that landed and I feel like any visual attempt at comedy didn’t even make me smile. So basically the movie failed in being both a comedy and a drama with a darker undertone. At the end I just wondered what the movie was even trying to be, and going back to this trailer I still don’t get it.
Then some minor things, I also thought that the dialogue felt too scripted at times and didn’t flow naturally. The slang is very unbelievable, I’m 20 and my younger brother is 18, we both use/hear slang daily and the movie sounds nothing like it. The father’s struggle in the family is completely forgotten and unresolved. The music unfortunately doesn’t sound very good and the literal main theme is almost annoying and too loud and overstays its welcome every single time when it plays. The transitions could use some work.
To finish of on a high note, I did think the climax was well done between Evelyn and Kyle, and Ziggy and Lila. At the start of the movie I was almost afraid that the movie would pair these duos together awfully but I’m glad to say it didn’t. Lila told Ziggy exactly what he was doing was wrong and disrespectful and I like how she called him “a little boy” like Ziggy’s own mother probably thinks of him. And Kyle fearing that Evelyn will be kick him and his real mother out of the foster if Kyle won’t go to college, this didn’t even cross my mind and I thought it was really subtle how Kyle simply went along with Evelyn this whole time because of this underlying fear. Nice job!
I also think Alisha Boe and Billy Bryk did a good job subtly conveying their confusion and annoyance with Evelyn and Ziggy’s actions. Not too subtle so the viewer can notice, but subtle enough so that Ziggy and Evelyn don’t see it. You can tell that Lila and Kyle tried to go along with them to be nice but they were absolutely irritated and I want to applaud that acting. I felt the desperation and passion from Lila when she read her poem out loud, starting nervously but getting more and more confident the more she reads. I liked it!
The camerawork is simple, but effective, I wish it could’ve done something more but it’s nothing to complain about.
In a nutshell I’m just kind of disappointed. I expected more from a movie which has Finn Wolfhard and Julianne Moore in it. And I genuinely feel bad for being so negative about the movie when I like these actors. I tried to like it, I gave it a shot and thought about it for a while but in all honesty the movie is just kind of embarrassing and boring when it didn’t need to be.
I’m sorry, the movie has its moments, and I get it was trying to do something different, but it didn’t work.
I rate it a generous 4/10.
Shout out Jesse Eisenberg for being multi talented!!!🎬
Yes!
"you stopped being interested in anything outside of your own little world." - I kind of feel like thats normal for a person at his age though. We go through such stages. It can be pretty daunting.
It is totally normal. Mine is a toddler so maybe I’m speaking too soon, but it baffles me adults forget what being a teen is like. I have a strong memory of my teen years.
I absolutely loved the audiobook of the same name, but this looks like Eisenberg is taking the movie in a different direction. If y’all didn’t know, the original is on Audible and it really hits you in the feels. Can’t wait!

"You stopped being interested in anything outside your own little world." Really hit home.
Julianne Moore is a powerhouse actor. She does a lot of the acting with her eyes and its a delight to watch. Excited for this
I feel like watching this movie will hurt me because I was that age once and thought I knew everything (well I didn't know everything) and now I am older I feel like I can understand both their povs. My parents really shielded me a lot and they didn't let me do anything outside of school. I resent them so much for this because I feel like I could have done a lot given the time and energy I had. Looking back I don't think I have anything interesting that happened during my teenage years.
i feel the same🥺
I felt exactly that resentment for a while because my parents also held me back a lot in pursuing my interests out of mostly fear for me. I realise now thinking back from their POVs that they were just afraid of me failing or getting hurt, but those were also a way I wanted to grow as my own person, which they didn’t understand until I was much older. As a result now I’m still struggling with normal things, like leaving the house without permission or trying to make new friends/ conversing with strangers, people my age has probably mastered by now. I’m still shielded by the fact that I’m still in uni, but by next year I honestly feel lost on what to do.

He will have as much acting work as he wants for the rest of his career, trust me. I guess a better way to say it is this: if you feel like he's not in enough new films, that's a choice he's making. Not because he's trying and failing to get casted in stuff. Moreover that's a good thing, he could be acting in every teen and young adult movie that comes out if he wanted to, but that would devalue his brand.

Me too
I'm college graduate now. Working in office with Co-workers as ancient looking as Morgan Freeman. Anyway, one old-woman (my coworker) asked me if I'm a good daughter. It stopped me from what I'm doing. I stared blankly at the computer monitor and smile to myself and said to her, "I don't know..."--while I'm contemplating all the things that suddenly flooded to my mind, about childhood traumas, physical abused, verbal abuse, and even the words I heard from my mother bwfore that, 'you should have never born', hit me like a raging sea. And when my coworker said, "Ohh, you should be good. Daughters should be good to their parents...", all I could say is, "I--I don't know. I think, I am good. Well, isn't it good that all I know is places like home, school, and church? I don't know. I thnk that's good."...but deep inside I could hear my arguing to my mother, our shouts, my sarcastic remarks to her, and all the things I never tried to say to her face since I was little. All those things made me believe that I will never be a good daughter. But who are these people to judge anyway?--My coworkers. They never struggled to live in a life with an alcoholic father, or hit multiple times by anything just because you didn't get to do what your parents order you to do, or made you compare to other kids who's doing great academically. You never been bullied at school and lie to your parents that 'there's no teacher today so I absent'. You were never blamed when your sister almost died when she was only a 1 and half year old and you're just 4 years old, getting beaten up with broomstick or metal belt. And you were never called by your own parents like, 'Witch, stupid, demonic-child, useless, shameful,' and whatever words they could muster and at the end of the day, until you get older, you realized, you should've fought them, you should have stop those monstrous things they did to you so you won't feel suffocated and think about death as an escape. This movie mockingly and intricately features all the happenings in reality and it saddened me. Because I love superheroes or the one who saved the world. You know you'll love them if your world inside was falling apart. That's why you most need them.
"I thought you were gonna be one of the good ones" has to be the absolute meanest thing you could say to a child outside of outright abuse. Goddamn.
Right?!
How is that mean? Genuinely asking.
@@yadirarivera2387well bcs that sentence kinda implying that “you are one of the bad ones”, “i fail as a parent”, “you are my failure”, “you are a fail project”…. Somethings like that
@@yadirarivera2387 Well, if you're not good, what are you?
"I believed you would be good, and you *failed.* You're bad."
There's so much packed into that that can really mess a person up. The implication is you could've been good, but you didn't try hard enough; you were too lazy to even be something as simple as being good. Or some inherent part of you meant you just can't be good. Or maybe you just didn't love mom enough to do what she thought you could do. She was wrong about you this whole time, and it's *your* fault. You'll never live up to her expectations (and shouldn't it be easy to be good? Aren't most people good by default? So what are you, then?)
Imagine your mom saying that to you. Imagine being 16 or 17, and how final that would feel. Would you keep trying to do good, either for yourself or others, if you were just straight-up told "You're bad?"
When it's your parents saying stuff like this, it can stick in the back of your mind for life. It can effect your confidence and sense of self. It's cruel to hand that complex to your own kid, and it's *really* hard to walk back once you've said it.
@@nicoleemenhiser8028 I’m going to have to disagree. I was told this in middle school when I was doing some really messed up stuff. I feel that some kids need to hear this because it’s something that ,like you said, can have a big impact on someone. At 14 it made me realize where I was heading if I kept behaving the way I was. It made me realizing that in that moment, I was letting down my parents. It’s like how most teenagers are unaware of the world outside of their perception. This sentence coming from someone who means so much to you can sometimes be what’s best for you to change.
Oh no, oh nooo, this feels so close to reality that the trailer made me tear up with Julianne's character AND Finn's character... Gonna need those tissues.

As a 31 year old mom of an 11 year old I relate to both the mom and the kid.
I want to be a mom that “gets it” since mine really didn’t, though she tried, but I can already tell I’m fumbling.
This parenting shit is hard man.
Sometimes I worry I’m trying so hard not to repeat my own childhood trauma I’m creating entirely new shit 🙃
And like, creating boundaries when your parents gave you none is hard??
Like I’m still figuring shit out on my feet and trying to teach it to my kids like, “this is what is apparently helpful and normal, even though I’ve never seen it in action”.
Pretty sure this movie is going to put me through the wringer, but I’m here for it 😅
You just have to realize that your child's brain isn't developed. They are going to get sucked into every stupid trend in existence for a while.
I feel like this kid will play one of the Ramones in an inevitable biopic
This feels like an indie GEM! ❤️ I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH IT!
@@nladyman I mean it is actually technically indie cus it’s produced and distributed by independent companies
@@nladyman This movie is the very definition of an indie film. Having big stars in it- writing/directing it doesn’t make it any less independent… I’m sorry my dude, but you are wrong.
Looking forward to it! Seems like an incredible cast, and good to see Finn back 🌸🌸
i am not sure if we can watch it D: how do we watch it?
@@EmmaBroadbent1574 the film will be out in january 2023

I always knew in my heart that Jesse Eisenberg is more than just a talented actor
He's written tons of short stories over the years, they're very funny.
It's weird to see Finn and Alisha Boe play in a movie together looking around the same age when he was so young during the first years of Stranger Things while she was already playing a high schooler during 13 Reasons Why.
That "Sorry about that"after the mother lectures him is sooooo Jesse. I can imagine him saying that.
*sigh* This is going to be a tear-jerker... I'm already holding back tear pressure just from the damned trailer. A24 never misses!
@conrad lmfao, to be honest I thought it would keep the word in between the asterisks I added, but it bolded the word instead 🤣😭 I was too lazy to edit it. **BIG SIGH**
@conrad 🤣😭 omgosh, I have got to get rid of those videos haha. The only reason I stopped making them is because I looked to see if other channels made that sort of content, and got mad and immediately quit BECAUSE it already existed in the TH-cam world lmfao. Childish? Yes.
I thought I had something going though for sure! I appreciate that so much from you, thank you! Somebody else said the same thing about my videos haha. I appreciate your humor as well
@conrad omgosh you're killing me with your funny and kind compliments! Haha ugh thank you! 😭
Finally a film that's interesting because it came from the heart and people actually wanting to work in it. Thank you I hope it's good.
Unlike other big major studios who just put out movies with zero creativity just for us to see
finally a movie that accurately describes what its like to be a teenager in todays world.
You should check out Eighth Grade! Realest, funniest teenage movie I’ve ever seen.
You ever seen “Eighth Grade?”
@@indubio1 haven’t seen that one but kids from 1995 was a pretty decent one but took place in the 90s
Pretty simple and easy life 💀
@@JacksonZ. sometimes
He seems like a cool kid full of interesting projects. All I can say is mothers are impossible to please.
Julianne Moore always brings authenticity to a ground led character. She’ll nail this.
1:57-2:01 Trust me. It only takes one hell of a heartache for you to close that window to the whole world.
Just found out I'm going to be having a boy, and this trailer hit on a whole different level. I hope he will feel free to cry at movie trailers like I am lol
this was so wholesome ❤
He probably will be free if you are
an A24 film with alisha boe and finn wolfhard?!! this is gonna be so good😫
The trailer didn’t have to tell me it was directed by Jessie Eisenberg. I could just tell by the dialogue.
Love Julianne Moore. After being robbed for Boogie Nights she finally got her Oscar for Still Alice. She always delivers. Jesse Eisenberg is good in FX's miniseries Fleishman Is in Trouble. A24 has a great track record. When you see A24 or Plan B chances are the film is going to be good.
Mhm!
IVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS FOR SO LONG! i listened to the audio story a while back and ive been waiting for this ever since!! It looks brilliant! Very excited to see how they adapt it from the original audio form (i expect there will be a lot of differences)
so excited for this, it's crazy to see how much finn wolfhard has grown. i'd absolutely love to watch him in an a24 coming of age film.
You ever watch a trailer for something and just know immediately "god damn this movie is gonna make me bawl my eyes out if I watch it."
That last shot of the car cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"you were going to be my little ally :(" feels like a lot of millenial parents coming to terms with their aging gen z kids who have a different outlook than they do
Julienne Moore, your classic millennial mum
@@Ettoruccio lol I'm not calling moore a millennial, I'm making a comment on the line itself
Most genz kids have gen X parents, just like millennials. The gap really isn’t that large + older millennials did not have many kids/ younger millennials are already adding to the alpa generation.
Julianne Moore is a gem.
Her saying "and then something switched in you" made me tear up so bad, my mom has spoken to me like that so often
i can tell this movies gonna make me cry.
it really got me when ziggy’s dad said
“Are you happy?”
“I think so.”
holy shit we, as a generation NEED films like this. films that accurately portray this kind of 21st century perspective, and the normality of media and technology and mental health awareness etc. that comes with it. it’s a really interesting time for people of our gen to be growing up and it feels like striking gold when i find something that feels like it could have been written by someone of my generation.
FINALLY FIN WOLFHARD GETTING THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES
Isn’t he the main character in Stranger Things, the show that broke the internet with its popularity, been cast as every teenager in every movie ever since including a Ghostbusters sequel, and is pretty much seen as box office gold for every movie that needs a white male teenager?
How much more recognition could he deserve, considering he’s the least-liked character and worst actor in the main cast in the thing he’s best known for.
@@Nevyn515 you didn’t have to chew him up like that 💀
@@Nevyn515 IM CRYING-
@@Nevyn515 except he's not the worst actor and the people who don't like Mike are stupid
I love to see films like this, let alone directed by Jesse Eisenberg!
"I'm right here, dude." That made me laugh out loud. 😂
"I agree with you"... "How?" ... "Oh shit." basically sums up the times we live in so perfectly. Looks great!
Saw a preview screening of this ages ago- a bit darker than the trailer but absolutely hysterical. 10/10.
I know the Dad saying jazz is culture appropriation was supposed to be a joke...but I appreciated it.
Yeah, appreciate the art, support the artist but respect the boundaries of another culture. Emulation is respectable when the culture it's coming from is promoted and honored as the origination.
🙌🏼
the way this film has taken like 2 years to actually come out despite it being played in sun dance ages ago lmao
THE NAME OF THE SONG IS….
‘Pieces of gold’ - Ziggy Katz
Available one Apple Music and Spotify
Thank me later I know how many of you have been looking for this song ❤️
This is going to be a movie for the ages.
Lol. Ok.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Finn could get an Oscar for this. Best Supporting Actor
absolutely not !!
@@luciferien5604 why?
@@emiliobello2429 His character is not oscar worthy …..
@@mi-kj7ry you think
@conrad i prefer the online game Jackbox. And Finn himself did play it
I can most definitely relate to all the feelings through this trailer being so close to Finns characters age
Lyrics from song in the movie called Pieces of Gold
Pieces of gold straddling paper
All into nothing and turning to vapor
The air is thin, the locks are set
You lift your chin, she feigns regret
[Chorus]
Two high-speed trains on parallel tracks
Running out of steam, not turning back
Two high-speed cars on parallel streets
Never gonna crash, never gonna meet
[Verse 2]
She can't contend with what I'm selling
I can't pretend it's not for telling
[Chorus]
Two high-speed trains on parallel tracks
Running out of steam, not turning back
Two high-speed cars on parallel streets
Never gonna crash, never gonna meet
Alisha Boe still acting a teeneger is crazy... she was acting a teenager when i was a teenager
Nice seeing a trailer where a lot was put into it without really giving the story away. I saw enough to wanna see more yet still have questions.... and it's a good thing
Finn Wolfhard & A24 is a perfect combination!
This movie is going to be special, Finn Wolfhard is a incredible actor 👏👏👏
I love seeing so many actors from shows I used to watch. I know some of these actors are almost 30 and they're still playing at high school role, but it looks pretty good.
A24 love getting famous actors/comedians/etc. to have there debut with them.
Can anyone tell me the name of the song that goes from 1:35 to the end please ? I really like it and I can't find it (even with Shazam haha :,)
I believe it's for the movie and will be released when the movie does
Jesse Eisenberg is the director😮 Can’t wait to watch it!
It feels like a movie...like a real movie
Honestly I feel like I haven’t seen a good indie film in a minute and maybe I just have missed a bunch but I love shit like this.
'you stopped being interested in anything outside your own little world' ooooooft that hit me
the final minute of the trailer? Ended with me tearing up, my fucking god, I’ve always believed finn is ready for these kind of roles and with lady godess Julianne Moore? Am so ready for it. I teared up because I think this movie will hit me so deep because of my process of discovering myself and my relationship with my family that I honestly, can’t wait to cry like a little kid with this movie
so proud of finn
I'm just surprised it took Jesse Eisenberg this long to direct a film! Loving how much A24 supports projects that shoot on film.
It's just a trailer and I already got tears in my eyes.
First Jonah Hill, now Jesse Eisenberg wants to try himself as a director for A24, we ll see what happens.
It's weird seeing Finn play a character set in modern times
Yeah, I didn’t even recognize him until the trailer was almost over
haha right
When the mother said “Something switched in you” that really hit me, reminds me of how I used to be happy, but now I have this sad empty feeling in my chest.
💝💝💝
I feel like I would've liked to see this movie a decade ago
You can clearly see the difference from the start and the end, how things changed. Cant wait
