you know i loooove when time collapses and within that collapse there are lesbians!! but a lot of parts of this felt a bit too caricature of what it means to be an adult and not actually how it feels to be an adult. like this was missing the grit and vulgarity of real life (even though real life is an ephemeral and personal thing). so many brilliant moments though and that final monologue wrecked me.
