After seeing Monster 2003, I remember leaving the theater feeling gut-punched. After reading about the constant child abuse Aileen Wuornos suffered as a kid, it was hard reconciling the path her life took. Charlieze Theron did a masterful portrayal of a broken person grasping at straws for a bit of authentic compassion. It's no wonder Wuornos was such a mess.

Big Short is fun and funny the whole time but has that same zoom out effect when you sit with it and the credits roll.
Uncut Gems, Good Times and anything Safdie Brothers is gonna feel like a several hour long panic attack until the bitter end where nihilism feels like a relief.
