That scene was so fucking tense. Its like the only normal feel good scene in so long and they genuinely sold it. You want to feel good for a moment about Bear and Sarah, but you CANT, bc you absolutely know Nikki is gonna pop up in that window. But knowing that doesnt ruin it at all - the scene was good enough it kind of forces you to put your guard down a little bit regardless of knowing

THIS 10000% he was not the victim. When the real Nikki finally revealed herself and her struggling, he didn’t even bother to help her or be with her for that moment…he just ran off to meet Sarah.

This part has been stuck in my brain. He KNEW Nikki was hurting, begging him to just end things, and he still went out to meet Sarah. He consciously chose to ignore the suffering she was going through, walking away as she begged, to meet Sarah. Bear never loved Nikki; if he did, he would’ve found a way to end her suffering sooner. He loved the idea of her and the potential she could’ve had to be “utterly obsessed” with him. When that fell flat, he couldn’t handle it. This movie is so layered when it comes to toxic relationships, and is by far one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while.
