- American centric jokes, which doesn't land sometimes bc it's very American centric and I ain't American lol
- blonde women and blonde women and blonde women. I can barely recount anyone being not white. Which is generally fine but the obsession with "white features" is rly weirding me out
- what's with the weird Asian women subtexts like????? Don't do that shit if ure gonna use angklung for anything :/
- With all the inner monologues and self deprecating stuff we got about greta, I wish we had seen a little bit more abt flavia other than; oh she's *actually* fragile and this is a defense mechanism.
- the big plot twist isn't so much as a big plot twist and more like, "that's it? "; greta has not much redeeming qualities (which is fine) but I'd had thought she would improve a bit other than just come see a shrink
