Eileen (2023) | ☆☆☆☆

(spoilers ahead!)

Today, I watched Eileen and it surpassed any expectations I had going in. Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie's acting in this movie was incredible and the cinematography was to die for. Perfectly dark and intimate. The buildup of the story left something to be desired, but the twist at the end was done so well that I physically slapped my hand against my mouth in disbelief.

The way Anne Hathaway delivered the line, "The first thing you need to know, this isn't my house. This is the Polk house. I have Mrs. Polk tied up downstairs." Chills.

My favorite scene though, was a bit earlier in the kitchen when Rebecca says, "Tell me, honey...what would make a person want to kill their father?" Eileen replies, "Everybody wants to kill their father." Rebecca's eye twitches and she says, "No they don't. Where did you hear that?"

I thought this exchange was PERFECT. Eileen is completely oblivious to her own psychopathy and capacity for violence, up until the point where she shoots Mrs. Polk and excitedly devises a plan to hide the body. We're led to believe (at least I was led to believe) that Rebecca was the one hiding a secret murder-y alter ego, but then Eileen actually acting on her intrusive thoughts in the end (shooting Mrs. Polk) was a great twist after all the fake-outs.

Also, I love the way we become desensitized to Eileen's intrusive thoughts throughout the movie. Because Eileen thinks that her violent fantasies are normal, we end up just brushing over her thoughts of killing herself/her father until her dark side appears with a literal bang.

Eileen thinks that everyone thinks the way she does and it comes as a surprise when she realizes that she isn't like every one else. Eileen kills Mrs. Polk and she does it with a sort of detached calmness that is so striking against Rebecca who was shaking, screaming, and crying. There's something terribly wrong with Eileen, whereas Rebecca had made a terrible mistake and was trying to fix it.

(Rebecca: "Why did you shoot her?"

Eileen: "I was upset.")

The scene also highlights the fact that Rebecca would never be able to love/accept Eileen because they are not alike. Although it pains me to say it (because I really wanted them to run away together), Rebecca was simply a stepping stone for Eileen in her journey of self discovery.

This made me recall the conversation Eileen had with her father. He said, "Some people...they're the real people. Like in a movie, they're the ones you're watching. They're the ones making moves. And other people...they're there filling the space. That's you, Eileen."

At the end of the movie, Eileen becomes one of the "real people" and smiles.

I feel like I could talk about this movie WAY more and do a better in depth analysis, but I just wanted to briefly talk about some of my favorite parts <3

That scene from GOT where daenerys eats the horse heart but its Hannibal and Will or something

I don't know if anyone cares but I just passed my permit test! This was a huge milestone for me as my depression and anxiety has impacted my life in such a debilitating way. Passing this test has made me excited for the first time in a long time and I can see myself a bit farther on the future having a job and going back to school. I'm so happy I can't even right now!!

i go to bars and coffee shops and breweries and libraries and thrift stores all the time by myself and i have a chill banger time i love my own company. so why is the grocery store a warzone. im fighting for my life. barely make it out alive. if someone even looks at me i want to blow them up with my mind

I will write smut and think it's the pinnacle of all my works, forget about it, remember I wrote it, then cringe and put it in a hidden folder on ao3 where it will never again see the light of day

you ever read a fic that makes you sob your heart out when you should be sleeping because

this one from @cervviidae pried me open and pulled the tears out so skillfully I’m left feeling soft and changed and in complete awe
