This definitely wasn’t anything like I expected. It plays like a dark comedy but I feel like it forgot the comedy. I see that a lot of people really enjoyed this but I’m just not into this type of romantic comedy, if we want to call it that. It felt more like a dark drama with an attempt at poor humor. I mean I did chuckle a few times mostly at the stupidity of it. I understand that entirely the point of the movie but it didn’t really work for…

This was an insane movie to watch two months before I get married. The Drama is one of those rare movies where almost every single detail ends up being in service towards the central themes and message of the movie.

Not going to lie. From watching the trailer to seeing the movie it wasn't what I expected. The movie is definitely a conversation starter in how we all work through our trauma. I really enjoyed the story and the performances from Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. Alan Haim was a scene stealer as the bitchy bridesmaid!
