i will say that the way poor things handles disability and disfigurement left a bad taste in my mouth
#i saw demi adejuyigbe write abt how it resonated with him through an autistic reading which i do think is cool#but idk something abt how and when we are supposed to empathise with intellectually disabled ppl#i get it i get that its allegorical and what not but idk something abt the only happy ending for disabled ppl#being a miraculous cure or death yknow#i understand it was a child brain and im being literal but idk#just the times that her mannerisms and behaviour earlier in the movie is played for laugh and how her happy ending is being smart#and needing no carers or helpers#so haha fuck you to remy youssef for calling her an ableist slur at the beginning#now shes his boss!!#its just very white and palatable#they would not make a movie like this with a less conventionally attractive lead bc ppl would just be grossed out#bc you can't act the way emma stone acts at the beginning of the film and not be bangable#the story is written around a conventionally attractive woman it wouldn't work if the person casted was less desirable#but tbh that is my problem. not just with this movie just like all of the big 'feminist' adjacent movies & tv shows of late#*played for laughs. look i make typos constantly i am bad at smartphones despite being a part of the smartphone gen
