Marcela Notes: Over ten years later and this movie still fuckin slaps- Oscar Isaac AND Dohmnall, my boyfriend, Gleeson, AND Alicia Vikander?! I'm heated.  And Oscar Isaac is *so* scary in this- I swear he inspired the dance scene in M3gan.  Probably my favorite Alex Garland film- not necessarily horror but truly horrifying watching it play out leading up to THAT ending. Man, I love movies and this one reminds me why. You know what, completely unrelated, but, why the hell would Olivia Rodrigo date an AI finance bro- she CLEARLY has not seen this!!! Olivia, girl!!!!
