Butter (2022)
3/10
Genuinely traumatised me?

Warning: Spoilers
I don't know what to say other than this movie genuinely traumatised me and I haven't been able to eat a proper meal in four days and I am starving but I can't eat anything, so thank you for doing this to me I guess.

Every time I chew, I think of this movie. This movie may have messed me up. I'm an empathy vomiter/gagger so maybe I shouldn't have watched it but me and my dad wanted to mess around but now every time I pick up a fork or spoon I just think of the scene where they pin him down and force-feed him the butter or when he's gorging himself to death. During the butter scene, I actually had to leave the room because I almost genuinely threw up.

I will admit: the way they shot both of these scenes, it's so disgustingly real, and I do like that, and I think Butter's actor was genuinely talented, I liked all the sax stuff, but other than that the movie is just weird. His bullies do suddenly just begin liking him because he wants to commit suicide, but then suddenly they go back on that later on, say they wish the best for him? It just doesn't feel right.

Just feels like a terrible message for teenagers. Like, yes, try to commit suicide and when you wake up in the hospital, most of your problems will suddenly solve themselves. The girl will start liking you if you try to die, which is basically what happened. No way. This is bad.

Either way, thank you for the semi-entertaining bad movie binge. This movie has been my biggest inside joke for the past few days, but also I can't get through a proper meal, so I'm not sure if I'm really winning or not.
