One word only: disturbing 😳


But a little bit more…, I don’t know what to make out of it. The story really caught me and made me angry and sad and depressed and made me feel impotent.

i want to say that i just didn’t get it, but i really feel like this was just okay. i don’t see what’s so prolific about the lives of blanche, stella, and stanley ft. mitch. very tragic at some parts, but tragedy doesn;t pull on me like it used to in order to earn more than 2.75 stars.
