Sort of. Just feels way more pointless, honestly. 😁

SPOILER ALERT!!!
I honestly watched this thing just because I was bored out of my mind, and... man, it was nothing special.
Once you’ve seen enough movies—and trust me, I have—you realize halfway through, if not sooner, that "Charlie" is actually her father. You know, the whole split personality trope. It’s such a tired cliché that’s been done to death in countless Hollywood thrillers.
I mean, who else could even be Charlie? There isn't another realistic candidate in the bunch. The neighbor is a total non-starter, and let's be real—that little girl is way too small to overpower an adult woman and drag her up the stairs to the tub.
Look, the movie isn't a complete disaster, but it’s totally unoriginal. We've seen this exact plot dozens of times before.
And that final scene... Talk about a cliché. It felt like they tried to tack on some random mystical twist at the end for no reason, just hoping the audience would walk out feeling confused enough to actually have something to talk about.
Too bad the rest of the movie didn't give us much worth talking about in the first place.

most of those acts would be killer to catch live—but man, my absolute dream would be seeing Tom Waits in person 🙏
For sure.
Hearing something like this live...

it's priceless! *
I'm right there with you on Crippled Black Phoenix, especially since "i , Vigilante" really hit home for me.

Definitely Swans.
They're hitting up the States soon, so I'm definitely making that happen. 😍
I caught Michael Girra with Angels of Light—absolute killer band and a legendary show—but I haven't experienced Swans live yet.
Then there's the rest of the list:
Anthony and the Johnsons
Bruce Springsteen
Cowboy Junkies
Emily Jane White
Neil Young
Fleet Foxes
Mark Lanegan
Godspeed! You Black Emperor
The Black Keys
Earth (they're playing nearby in the Midwest soon, so I might actually pull the trigger and go)
Calexico (saw them once, but honestly, I'd go again in a heartbeat)
😍
There's plenty more where that came from, but these are my absolute top priorities.
