When I was 17 or 18 I was eating lunch at this place called New York Subs (now closed) and I ordered my sandwich and sat down in front of this man (who I later learned was my parents' dentist, incidentally) who was by himself waiting on his food. When the waitress came by…

the best autistic movie we have to date. astounds me every time, reminds me that I’m deserving of the love in my life, that it isn’t forged out of pity or by chance. I think about the meltdown in the bathroom a lot, I know what it feels like to lose grasp of your control…

nothing makes me happier than the scene where barry decides to buy all the pudding and he kind of just starts dancing in the grocery store

Punch-Drunk Love

In my personal opinion, one of Adam Sandler’s best performances of all time. He works better as a dramatic actor. This is the film that got me into analysing films, I’ve always been interested in films, but this one, got to looking deeperintothe language that films speak. ❤️❤️👍🏻

After watching most of adam sandlers movies, I thought it’d be another typical romcom, but it was completely different. It was hectic and stressful, but had a beautiful score to go with it, great acting and cinematography was next level. A very different movie but loved it alot

the camera and sound work together to make you feel what the character is feeling and it's nice seeing adam sandler doing a more serious role, specially since hes so good at it. the movie's a 7.8/10 looking at it critically, but for the right, socially awkward person, its a 10/10

Punch-Drunk Love

It’s good Indie movie, with I absolutely loved in terms of photography and the color aesthetic. How ever, the story is very uncomfortable and it makes you feel stressed, which it could be exiting and weird at some point… But this didn’t get the feeling I was expect to
