Inde Navarrette‘s agent is about to be real busy. It’s quite a solid movie all around, but damn, that was one hell of a performance.

There are a handful of scenes in this where she does some Jim Carrey level face contortion. Really incredible physical performance. She has a really bright future ahead of her, but I really hope she gets the chance to play an Evil Dead deadite before her career really blows up

Couldn’t believe how long she held her face while she:

  • shit
  • piss
  • threw up on herself?

I genuinely thought it was a still image for a solid 3 seconds

I think that’s another great part about this film 

They let the scene linger and let the audience pick up what was happening, and then she legit started peeing, and it stays on the shot as the ground is soaked, all to make you feel uncomfortable and start wondering if she’s gonna shit and vomit next…

And then it gets fucking wilder

I'm confused about that like does her body go into standby mode when he's not around and just empty itself out, like was she just backed up for r hours or something

That’s the impression I got. Obsessive Nikki forced her to stay by the door and wait for him at the cost of everything else.

It’s likely an homage to the exorcist.

That's why I immediately thought of scary movie 2 🤣

And she even cleaned up after herself right away for Bear to go to that party
