RAN OUT OF TWEETS BECAUSE I HAVE ZERO CHILL!

Penny's feet said "I AM A DANCER & YOU WILL KNOW IT!"

Baby goes from idolising Penny to realising she's just another human young woman via her vulnerability. Penny goes from side-eyeing to respecting Baby via her kindness. 23/ https://twitter.com/Laura_K_A/status/1338701902876446720

Can we talk about how beautiful Johnny & Penny's relationship is? The perfect lovers-to-friends! It's ridiculous how rare & lovely it still feels to see a man be such a gentle, caring, & affectionate (emotionally & physically) friend to a woman he has no romantic interest in. 24/

LMAO at these two awkward morning-after idiots & their shared brain cell And how Penny clocks it immediately & the second Baby leaves, she's like "YOU DUMBASS!" She knows her bestie has been hurt by guests before & wants to protect him

I love this trio so much 25/

The absolute teen angst of not having a fucking clue wtf you're doing or wtf is happening when it comes to relationships & you're both awkward so you work yourself into a state & desperately scream their name & then they smile at you & everything is ok again OMFG I CANNOT!!! 26/

When Baby asks Johnny "Have you had many women?" it sounds exactly like a young person trying to sound worldly & mature. Like she heard that line in a film once & was like "This is how adults talk about sex".

Also I would absolutely be looking at his ass like that too, Baby. 27/

Baby's question triggers Johnny's complex & traumatic feelings re his past (and present w Madame Black Curls) experience engaging in what is basically some kind of implied sex work dynamic with the older women at the camp. He's explaining but also working it out for himself. 28/

The realisation that these women were just using him. And we've already seen how that's damaged his sense of self-worth.

It's so interesting to see this kind of imbalanced sexual & classist power dynamic explored via a male character. This film is so radical in many ways. 29/

Baby's jealousy causes her to misunderstand & try to make herself feel better. But this moment isn't about her, it's about Johnny working through his trauma & he delivers the last line like he's finally figured it out. The self-worth Baby is providing him enables his growth. 30/

Baby's entire thematic character arc is summed up in these four shots – she has to grow up & transform from infantilised Baby into badass woman Frances. POETIC CINEMA!

Johnny knows Baby truly sees him for who he is & he wants to do the same for her, so he asks her real name. 31/
