how do i even begin…
this movie gave me anxiety lol. from the very beginning it just feels non-stop. i’m not sure how to describe it. it feels improvised? due to how tense and real the conversations feel. that’s honestly my favorite aspect of this film. i don’t know how a script writer can even imagine these lines! 
this is one of the few movies where i don’t feel sympathetic or side with our main character mainly because it seems he just digs his hole deeper and deeper and never really learns. i guess that’s how it is with gambling addiction?!?! 
such an abrupt ending, but also kind of inevitable with a character like howard.
