It’s also based on a novel. Gerwig & Robbie, OTOH, dreamed up something entirely new & sui generis. It was so surprising bc nothing like it has ever been seen before. It sprung from a vision on a groundbreaking level, as do Poor Things, Killers, & Oppy. Can’t say that for TZOI or the others.

This probably isn't the place for an extended colloquy, but overall, my besties are Poor Things and American Fiction. For totally different reasons, obvs. Oppy close behind.
