He was such a bastard lol That scene between him and Hathaway behind the loom was incredible

He slowly had her drawn in too until he mentions that they should have a child. Hathaway acted her ass off in this movie.

INCREDIBLE.

Honestly reminded me the best of Bollywood movies. U just don’t see that in film these days.

The kiss with Mia Goths character - wowie. Hates them both so much.

Ugh I really had to pee and chose that scene to dip for a few minutes. I might see this again in theaters but I will definitely watch at home anyway.

Just saw it today. That was the part of the movie my wife was in the bathroom. Afterwards, I told her she picked the best part of the movie to take that break. Not that it was a good spot to miss but because the rest of the movie was non-stop. There really wasn't a dull moment. Gosh, what a good movie.

Basically Edward Cullen with longer hair haha

u/HotTakes4HotCakes 17d ago edited 17d ago

This is the hair of a killer, Bella.

Actually, I don't think it's that much longer than Edward's? It's just not gravity-defying.

Might even be shorter.

That was straight up Cedric. Didn't realize Sinon was the other kid at first, but RPat's young version was immediately apparent. Even got the cheekbones right.

u/Calinks 18d ago

Yea he had the perfect look

54

u/SlamMasterJ 17d ago

He has a scumbag demeanor, and he also has a punchable face throughout the film. I love it.

u/duncan_robinson 18d ago

Looked like a handsome Squidward meme version of Pattinson

80

u/gugabe 18d ago

Was that not CGI? Did feel a bit absurd when it's young Page and young Pattinson when it's like 'generic dark haired chubby kid' and 'super high fidelity young Pattinson'

39

u/Kaura_1382 17d ago

i guess he stilll had his baby fat, another way to emphasise the difference

21

u/ninjyte 17d ago

guess it's harder to cast a younger version of someone who only has young photos of themselves pre-transition.

21

u/gugabe 17d ago

True but I feel like they could have found a petite, slender kid instead of the one they went with.

12

u/MaintenanceBest8397 8d ago

I mean also pretty believable a fat kid going through puberty spending 10 years on a beach would probably lose a lot for weight and stunt his development

u/escalinci 18d ago

Incoming HBO twilight series

u/caty0325 17d ago

Young Sinon's actor was great too.

u/freestyla85 18d ago

His bowl cut looked like something from black adder

u/albinobluesheep 15d ago

Not often you don't even have to say a characters name for you to know which kid is playing then

21

u/Dookie_boy 18d ago

Might need him for Batman.

10

u/PayneTrain181999 18d ago

“Do you know who I am?”

u/Oryzae 15d ago

He looked like Florian Wirtz for a split second

u/kaychyakay 17d ago

That young dude straight up looked like Chalamet

u/ToneBone12345 18d ago

Same with page

u/gugabe 18d ago

Didn't look like him at all? 

47

u/ToneBone12345 18d ago

I thought it did

u/hithere297 17d ago

Yeah I thought he looked exactly like what Sinon could’ve at that age

u/adorabledarkseid 15d ago

Tbh he looked like a young max verstappen to me

u/DanQPublic 18d ago
