For someone who mainly watches thriller or horror movies, I don't know what possessed me to press play... But, I have no regrets. This movie is oddly refreshing. I wanted to hate on the stereotype portrayal of the Asian man (awkward, wearing glasses, considered unattractive but somehow seems good at everything that doesn't include sports)... And thought it would end up as a shallow, borderline-racist rom-com but there is depth in this movie.

Seriously, it tackles the great debate whether Die Hard can be considered a Christmas movie or not. How much deeper can a movie get?

Ridiculously long and dragging plot. It started off quite interesting, but lost its plot early on the movie. Could have been, should have been, would have been kinda movie - but it just wasn't it. Gave me Hereditary (2018) vibes by the end of it, except, just like the title suggests, the storyline felt very *empty*.

An adaptation that did the book justice. The acting, the pacing, and the script were all well done. But the most important thing about this movie is its message which unfortunately has still been proven to be of relevance decades after this movie was released. Give it a watch, and there you might find your truth - not from your mind, but from your heart.
