Just here to say that Jennifer's Body and Young Adult are both classics in my book 🤌

Young Adult destroyed me; it was such a perfect encapsulation of my feelings about my life at the time.

[corrykennedy]

she doesn't get enough credit for Young Adult!

[jojito]

Yep, neither does Charlize. Her performance was perfect.

tully was great too. i'd actually be interested to see what she'd write now that the conversation has changed.

Idk why Young adult didn't get the credit it deserved. It was an incredible film.

there is something deeply uncomfortable, mean, and somewhat off-putting about both young adult and jennifer's body to me; I don't think this makes them bad movies at all but I do think most people were not ready for that at the time they were released.

[eisenberries]

probably because Mavis is an asshole and you just know people can't cope with women being unlikable even if that's kind of the whole point of the story

[myselfdestruct]

You have perfect taste. I watch Young Adult once a year and relate to it on every level.
