i had already read the book before watching the movie and the book was already hard enough to get through, but seeing the events play out on screen just made me feel uneasy. even though it was a great movie and honestly one of my favorites, i don’t think i’ll rewatch it anytime soon.

Did not actually puke but it turned my stomach and I couldn't eat for a while after, the descriptions are so vivid and horrible, one of the hardest book I've read

I was itching to watch this since it came out, but I wanted to read the book by Ottessa Moshfegh first. The book was pretty good, I have my critiques, I’ll save them for now. The movie failed to capture the same level of disturbed that Eileen or Rebecca were in the book. They also changed the way Rebecca’s character looked in the movie for some reason? They actually changed quite a bit when it came to characterization of all of the characters, and it really was not to the movie’s benefit. Not a bad movie, much much much different than the book.

when I dont go back it feels like the last thing that happened there is frozen in time, repeating in my head. but when I return and just exist there calmly, it reminds me that time has moved on, that moment is over, and it wont happen again.

i love the mindset i enter when i know a friend is coming over, my room stays so organized, i finally deep clean and dust every corner, i fold and hang up all my loose clothes, and my blinds stay open for longer letting the sun in until it sets.
it's not even that i would be embarrassed if they saw my room in its normal state i just get so excited i cant stop moving around until the day comes. it gives me something to look forward to for the week.
