“I just sawed our arms apart, we are going to the hospital!”
🔪 The Screaming Begins
Imagine being so connected to your partner that you’re… physically fused at the torso.
No solo showers. No private thoughts. No escape.
You are now one organism, emotionally and biologically.
Dave Franco and Alison Brie bring their real-life couple chemistry to a movie that plays like:
“What if a wellness retreat turned into a Cronenberg fan film?”
And let’s be real: the cult lurking in the background? Way too chill.
Like, “We do healing… and human fusion rituals, nbd.” 🕯️👁️
🪞 Mirror Moment
This movie unpacks codependency like it’s a carry-on bag full of trauma.
It’s about what happens when two people stop being individuals and become a single entity—emotionally, mentally, and then viscerally.
Codependency isn’t just emotional—it’s surgical. The film slices open the idea of unhealthy attachment and stitches it back together with horror. What starts as devotion mutates into physical entrapment, where individuality rots under the weight of “love.” It’s a twisted metaphor for the kind of relationship that demands everything and gives nothing back—where “us” swallows “you” whole.
It made me laugh…
And then it made me question every emotionally unavailable person I’ve ever dated.
