reading reviews and tags of backrooms (2026) makes me so fucking angry omfg. did the message go over everyone’s head????? cycles of abuse????? the immorality of the psychiatric and medical systems???? the horrors of being a woman in patriarchal society???? the horrors of being an abuse victim trying to navigate the world?????? the consequences of trying to ‘fix people’, especially men as a woman, and especially abusers as a survivor????? how trying to fix the abusive system you live under using the tools of that same system doesn’t work??????? how destructive enabling abusive behaviour, even as part of healing to ‘fix’ an abuser, can be????? is anyone listening or do you only care about the random white man!???!?!!!?????
Went to see this in cinema today and when it finished I heard at least five groups of people go "that was shit" and the two who were sat in front of me were on snapchat for half the movie and I felt like I was the only one who got it 😭😭 I was so upset after having connected with it so deeply and thought it was so artistically impressive hearing everyone around me talk about it like that
