This might actually be my favorite movie of all time. It's like Saltburn but good. It's like The Secret History but a movie and also for people that aren't absolutely insufferable. I smile the way I do specifically because I thought the way Matt Damon smiled in this was cute and I spent way too much time training myself to imitate it in the mirror. That anecdote should be enough to tell you why I like this movie so much. This movie can be interpreted both as a commentary on how repressed homosexual desire manifests itself as unhealthy jealous obsession OR how unhealthy jealous obsession manifests itself as repressed homosexual desire, depending on how gay you are. Lot of Italy, lot of sad, lot of time spent on my part going crazy about the Hadrian and Antinous symbolism. Watch it right now.
