New to me movie for today was The Heartbreak Kid. yeah I know it's old but I hadn't seen it.

Well, that movie would have a different ending if it were made this year. I would at minimum expect an inquiry, at most jail. I suppose it hinges on if the kid can give consent.

I really have trouble seeing this as a coming of age or young woman breaks free story.

I also watched Tar with Cate Blanchett. 😲 It's a horror story and a morality tale. When you break ethical rules in a heartless thoughtless way and hurt feelings ( tho the rule breaking seems like harmless teenage drama ) you risk attracting really bad people and incurring serious consequences

I do too. Tar built up suspense quite well. 😬

Heartbreak Kid, that gets 2.5 hobbits.
