This is a masterpiece. This movie should be studied, re-watched, and maybe even worshipped. (Okay, maybe not worshipped, but something close to that.)
I've been a long-time fan of absurdist comedy, and this movie was the first I'd seen that was able to perfectly marry that with such an endearing, human story.
For me the whole movie was about the insanity it is to be human. The chaos, the uncertainty, the not knowing fucking anything, and all the feelings that come with those things. I'm pretty much an optimistic nihilist myself, and this movie felt basically like scripture to me. Even at the end of the film, when she says that nothing matters, you still can feel as a viewer, after seeing all of that, that things matter only as much as you want them to.
I've never thought a movie that had a scene with someone wielding two massive, bloody dildos could also make me feel so at peace with the state of all of our existences.
I think that's what I find so delightful and welcoming about this movie and how they made it: the perfect way they joined absurdity and each individual human's desire to find "meaning" in their life.
Overall I think I learned that searching for meaning in one's life isn't necessarily the best way to go about actually finding it. It feels like the movie made a strong argument for the idea of only finding meaning when you've stopped looking for it and have embraced the chaos, absurdity, infinite complexity, and even humor of it all.
One of the best endings to a TV show episode I've ever seen. Music choice at the end was perfect.
It's just perfect. A perfect movie. The very reason this art form exists. I cried, laughed, wondered, and can't stop thinking about it. Absolutely incredible filmmaking.
