To the movie, Jim Parsons really got to me and the fact that the plot is based on a play. In similar plays, it is the dialogues that are enough to make the viewer infinitely satisfied. But here, the dialogues didn't satisfy me. They damn well didn't satisfy me. And I probably shouldn't drag it out. Jim Parsons will forever be Sheldon, you know he's a nutcase. But his expressive way of speaking in a classic drama? No, thank you. I'd rather stick a broom up my ass.

I watched the original and already half-century(!) old film when I was seventeen, and I remember that I found it very strong and bold for its time, but also very talky, drawn out and unfinished in a sense. The Netflix remake sticks pretty closely to the original, but has the disadvantage that nowadays a film like this can't shock anyone anymore. Acting-wise, it's handled very well, though I had a problem with some of the characters - which I'm sure was the primary intention. It's almost frightening how toxic and dangerous some friendships can be. P.S. Jim Parsons portrayed two "royally mean 4% scumbags" this year (see Hollywood).
