+1 I DNF and don’t have plans to watch the movie.[/quote]

I thought it was realistic that a young person of color might have more distrust of white people (in 2023) than their parents. I liked that the movie addressed that. [/quote]

I thought she was incredibly rude, obnoxious, and full of herself.  Of course the Julia Roberts character was leery about letting two complete strangers in the house, much less letting them spend the night - her husband should have been just as concerned.  Their race had nothing to do with that.  I wouldn't have let two strangers in, regardless of what they looked like.  And then the daughter tells her father that Clay wants to have sex with her.  As if.  [/quote]

Indeed, her not wanting to let them in was racist. Didn't believe "they" could own a house like that when Julia and family were just renting it for the weekend. YOU sound like you have some issues of your own, especially your "as if" comment. PP , you sound simply dreadful.[/quote]

I was somewhat in agreement with the pp until the "as-if" comment. Clay wanted to have sex with her. How did you miss the energy during the vaping scene? Clay's son wanted too as well; did you also miss that? She's cute-- men want to have sex with good looking women. Would love to hear you explain your way out of the comment, lol.[/quote]

I'm the "as if" poster.  Yes, the son wanted to have sex with her.  The dad (Clay)?  Nope.  They were vaping together - how does that make him interested in her sexually?  SHE asked HIM if he had ever had sex with a student.  SHE was clearly coming on to him.  He was just hanging out.  In what world do you think he was interested in her?  [/quote]

I'm the "didn't you see the energy" poster. You clearly don't pick up on nuance and cues beyond the surface. I guess you also thought the scene with Marshala and Julia dancing was just them "kidding" around, right lol? Both scenes are examples of what leads to two people ending up in bed together. Serious question--Are you new to Earth?[/quote]

Amanda and George dancing, flirting, and wanting to sleep together?  Sure.  Clay and Ruth chatting while vaping?  She certainly seemed interested in him - he seemed oblivious to her in that way.  It seems YOU clearly don't pick up on nuance, see two people together, and immediately assume they're both interested in one another.  Ruth was definitely coming on to Clay.  He may have thought she was attractive, but he wasn't in any way acting interested in her. [b] You seem very simple[/b].[/quote]

Sigh-- men are simple, predictable creatures.[/quote]
This reminds me of a friend's husband making crude remarks about another woman hitting on him but everyone present did not see it the same way which started to leave me in doubt about all the times he said someone was flirting with him. On the flip side another friend was being heavily hit on and when we pointed it out they vehemently denied it and was sure the other person was just being nice. [/quote]
