This movie was incredible, everything I hoped it would be from the description and trailer, and more. It's rare that a movie keeps my attention fully riveted on it, but this had me hooked from the first thirty seconds. The cinematography is gorgeous, the visuals were gritty and greasy and sumptuous, and most importantly, the relationship felt real and natural, much more so than practically any hetero relationship I've seen portrayed in film. Maybe it's just because I'm also queer, but every part of Lou and Jackie's journey resonated with me. It looked at the fact that sometimes you do stupid shit for love, and sometimes you get absolutely furious with someone, out of love, and sometimes, if you're really lucky, your girlfriend saves your life by metaphorically hulking out . God. This movie was just amazing, I'll be thinking about it for days, and might rewatch it soon. Kristen Stewart just gets better with everything I see her in, and Katy O'Brian was also phenomenal. Ed Harris was creepy and menacing and just an all around VBM (very bad man). Daisy's character made me uncomfortable but also sad for her. Just, oof. So good. The score was excellent as well.
