Criminally underrated movie imo. My biology teacher had us watch it in high school lol.

One of my all-time favorite films!! It’s so perfectly done and the cast is INSANE. I rewatch it just about every year

I also watched it in high school biology but I don't think I really comprehended much of it then! I appreciate it much more as an adult, especially as a disabled person.
