''so, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.'' That line hit me right in the feels.😭

The reason Ke Huy Quan walked away from acting is because there weren't any roles for him. He loves acting. He never wanted to quit but he just wasn't getting cast. And he didn't want to just play the same two type of characters over and over. I'm so glad he came back and had this incredible film to do it with. I hope he keeps getting the roles he deserves.

My sister and I cried the hardest we’ve ever cried when we saw this movie. As someone who has struggled with depression because of nihilism, this movie spoke to me and broke me like crazy. I love it, and probably won’t have a movie affect me so much because of my current mental space in life like this one. 10/10 and A+

There were these annoying kids sitting in front of my brother and me, throwing popcorn at people and just being really irritating. At the fake-out credits halfway through the film, they all ran out thinking the movie was over. We laughed so hard. I swear the next few hours were the most fun I've had watching a movie in a really long time.

The dad is by far the best character in this film. Constantly the voice of reason, always there to reassure his family no matter the "version", who seemingly gives up all hope at any and every situation. Honestly, hit's home for me.

[jazzbyers]

This movie. I cried so much, happy, sad, validated, bewildered, just literally everything all at once. Leaving the theater I felt changed and it made me want to appreciate life more. Just a wonderful masterpiece of cinema.

I worked on this movie during pre-production (location scouting) with the Daniels, DP, main producer, production designer, etc. Been loving the reactions so far. I saw it 2 weeks ago and it was the 1st studio union feature film that I ever worked on (in November 2019), a monumental moment for me when I watched it in theaters. Thanks everyone for watching it! Cheers to movies \m/.

While Chris doesn’t grade movies anymore, I think we all know he would have given this a strong A+

[jackwaters]

I loved this movie so much. It got me to call my mom after to say I love her. Unfortunately her response was "how much money do you need?"

[dashreesh]

What I find so amazing about this film is how many topics it did justice. A love story between Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan. How a relationship between a parent and a child works. What depression can do to a person. Absolute masterpiece

O MY I got out of the theater, went to my car, and EVERY SINGLE suppressed problem I've had built up all came out, I had no explanation as to why I started hysterically crying, but I did, and it felt great, it wasn't a depressing cry, if was an accepting, I feel at peace now. #1 movie of my life

[mmariankaa]

For me personally, this is one of those rare cases when a movie gets into my head and soul. I left the movie theater in almost a state of shock.
Couldn’t stop thinking about it for days and now can’t wait to watch it again and again.
Words can not describe it- it’s an experience one must see with their own eyes! 👁

[GeahkBurchill]

I saw this movie and it changed the boundaries of what I thought cinema was. It felt like what it must’ve been to see the Wizard of Oz for the first time and suddenly transition to color. I left the theater feeling that I had witnessed a new stage in the evolution of film. Nothing can ever be the same after this movie.

[FitzRobert]

This movie is an absolute contemporary masterpiece. I'm positively sure it's one of those rare cases when a film is born a classic.

[rottenpoptart]

I genuinely cried very very hard while watching the movie. The message of the daughter feeling inadequate and only wanting the approval of her mother was way too close to home. It deserves every oscar for the rest of time in my book.

[shahs]

I have never had a theatre reacted so strongly in all my life going to the movies. We laughed, we cried, we cheered, sometimes all at once. This movie isn't just a masterpiece it's a landmark for films and storytelling in general. On top of all that, Michelle Yeoh made me felt Malaysian pride in a way I've honestly never felt before. Literally a life changing experience!

[recantedforger]

I"m baffled that my local theater barely carried this movie. The release date got pushed like 3 times and I actually phoned the theater to ask when/if it was coming soon. Couldn't have been happier to find out it was soon after that. This film is amazing and I enjoyed every minute of it. I'm just still surprised about how few theaters were actually going to show it.

[chrisnesbitt_jr]

This movie absolutely blew me away. It was masterful the way they used humor and absurdity to tackle such huge concepts as nihilism, existentialism, and our place in the universe. Truly a film with something to say. But one of the rare instances where the message feels more like a warm embrace than a ham-fisted rebuke. Can’t recommend enough.

[slayer]

I drove an hour out of my way to watch this movie, just on a whim. Had a feeling in my gut, took my fiancée who’s really picky. Both absolutely loved it. We laughed, we cried, we were in utter awe

[ThisIsMyFullName]

I wasn't prepared for how emotional the ending of the movie was. This is one of those rare films that are impossible to predict, you're just along for the ride. Definitely a contender for the best film of the year.
