So I just finished Normal People then rewatched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind back to back and let me tell you yes they both tore me to pieces and were so so good. But i did not watch them at a time in my life where it could’ve been a lot worse. And yea it might’ve been cathartic to sob my heart out (I did still cry don’t get me wrong but very polite tears), I think I’m glad I was spared the heavy hit bc it allowed me to appreciate the show/film on its own.
