Anna Kendrick giving the words « Alice » and « darling » some justice and redemption after don’t worry darling dragged them through the mud for the entirety of 2022
This is definitely about emotional abuse. I’m glad someone is making a movie about this. It’s not something many know how to recognize. I didn’t know what it was until I was in it.
@@kimberlyfinch6055 Actually I saw it as another film about anti male propaganda that encourages women to ditch men over trivial stuff in favor of consumerism.
Emotional abuse is very much a real thing and is part of domestic abuse. Head games! I allowed myself to stay in an emotionally abusive relationship and that's one of the things that ex would say "no one knows you like I do." I got out of the relationship but many stay in. I changed my major to psychology, not to understand my psychoish ex, but rather to understand why I stayed longer than I should have. We stay because we think we can change them, at least that's how it was for me. Good to see this kind of movie coming out. 👍🏾
Emotional abuse is not gender specific. I feel like, men emotionally and physically abusing women is very much documented in the world. What isn’t documented, is the verbal and mental abuse that a lot of women place on men. I was in a 6 year relationship, with a woman who already had a child with someone else. She used me in so many ways. Half way through the relationship, I found myself being constantly lied to, constantly insulted, belittled, physically hit, cheated on etc etc. If I ever reacted, I was instantly looked at as the bad guy for normal reactions to being abused. I’m still extremely scarred to this day (over 10 years later). Needless to say, she implanted such a low outlook in myself. I lost all of my confidence. Immediately after the relationship ended, she was back with her first child’s father and I’ve never re-entered a serious relationship since. This is very real and it’s very traumatic but most men will never admit to it because it is very embarrassing and humiliating. It’s more common than you would think. Emotional abuse is not gender specific. Would also like to see someone shine a light on this. You always see and hear about men doing it to women but you never really see the pain that some broken women can inflict on men. So many women bring the hate of their past failed relationships into new ones and push that anger and resentment on good men. It’s a story that certainly needs to be told. I can share this with you all on RU-vid but I would never share it with family or friends. People look at you like you’re not a man if you can’t handle it.
@@nomoredeception3735 I'm so sorry. How awful. I know that with so many people who lash out, they are actually very paranoid and think that the other person is just waiting to do or on the verge of doing something bad to them, e.g. cheat on them, lie to them, hinder them, hurt them, steal from them, etc. A lot of women and breadwinners fear their significant others and what they may do so this lashing out is their anger, frustration and resentment showing. I really am sorry for what you went through. There are so many layers to abuse, including women abusing their male significant others.
@@lauren9004 Thank you so much for that. I’m so sorry if it seems rude of me to overlook what many women go through. But I promise, that wasn’t my intention at all. I know there are so many disgusting men out there, who permanently scar so, so many women. I just thought I would share my own personal experience. One that you don’t necessarily hear about every day. It sucks and it hurts. If it can completely break a once strong man like myself, I can only imagine the suffering and pain that tons of women must’ve endured. My heart goes out to anyone who has suffered real abuse. Physical or emotional. Thank you so much for the kind words. It meant a lot to hear. Happy Holidays, Lauren. I hope you the best in the new year coming forward. Thank you again, sincerely 😊
This made my heart race. I've been trapped in an abusive marriage for over 15 years and want to leave but I can't afford to because cost of living is crazy expensive. Thank you for making this movie. Maybe it will save girls from ending up where I am.
I hope you leave for the sake of your girls. I know because I was also in a space for 8 years of knowing I had to leave a toxic relationship, knowing in my mind and heart but the possibility of leaving just seeming impossible when I considered logistics, money, social backlash. But there's only one life and if you think of yourself at age 35, 40, then 55 and 70 in a bad relationship and wonder what you're modelling about relationships for your daughters (because I learned passivity and deference to men from my parents), I think leaving is a must. Once you leave, you will feel so much freedom, then regret about not doing it earlier, and there will be a ton of guilt and gaslighting, but for me it completely transformed my self-worth. Wishing you luck.
Keep looking. Don’t give up. I recently left a toxic marriage; moved my 2 girls (& one on the way) only about 6 weeks ago. It was pretty sudden & I know I’m not out of the woods yet (still have all of the court proceedings ahead of me, along with everything else). But it feels like I’ve at least been able to come up for air & breathe at least a little in the in-between times & slowly gaining strength from that. Don’t give up. Reach out to anyone & everyone *disassociated from the relationship* that could possibly help you. Go with your gut. When opportunities come up that feel right- jump on them. Do not give up.
Find a shelter. They will help you steer your way out. Even if you can't run right now, they can help you make a plan. Having a plan is half the battle. This is even more important if you have a pet ( no, I'm not crazy) or a child. Your life, your child's life, or your pet's life is more important than things. You deserve to be safe and at peace.
Typical overt narcissist. I'm sure many will see their own relationship in this movie and see that they aren't the only "my beautiful girl" and many of the things he says and does aren't original and run🏃🏻♀️🏃♀️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏿♀️
The worst part is the abused pushing people away and refusing to participate in their own escape. You can’t make them, but they kill everyone that loves them because they have to sit by and watch.
Wow. So painful to watch. This is so real. I'm really glad they are bringing these things to light. I hope they soon come out with a version of this story where the woman is the narcissistic abuser so we can break the stereotypes and show that this happens to everyone, men included.
Bore fest. How much were u paid 2 write something positive ? Or r ur standards really that low. It’s a good subject matter no doubt yet this is a predictable bore fest. The movie offers nothing more that the trailer. Except more of ur life / time
So, so thankful for this movie being made. Hoping it can bring a lot more awareness to the aspects of emotional/psychological abuse, which can be so powerful and destructive
I immediately thought about it - maybe the guy reminded me of Patrick Bergen's character so much or something - when she jumps in the water, I hope she is going to fake her own death like Julia's character did. It seems like that is the only way to escape this because it is said that the most dangerous time for a woman is when she decides or tries to leave an abusive partner. That is usually when he kills her.
Today I met an old friend who in my opinion is in a relationship just like the one depicted. Isolated away from her family, cut out from her old friends that he made her hide their relationship from until they married and made her stay at home even though she was very smart and had so much ambition. He also uses God as a way to control her. He was in his late 20s when they met and she was barely 18. All under the disguise of love.
@@saintmayesn7644 even if that's true, there was a lot more to it than just that. Telling someone that it's all in their head, that they are crazy ,is still emotional abuse. Narcissistic abuse is insidious, in that you start doubting your own reality and judgement, and start believing that you really are the crazy one. All the while, your supposed partner, the person you have trusted to share your home with, is really betraying that trust, all the while making you feel like a terrible person for ever doubting them.
Ok, but many cheaters when exposed deny it by saying that the other is imagining it, many continue denying it even when caught (“it is not what you think”), hardly all of them are narcissistic.
It's very painful to realize the person you loved and adored had been psychologically torturing you and taking advantage of you,. And that he is the cause of your pain but blaming anyone, anthing and especially you for the pain he causes.
This seems much heavier and more terrifying. I feel like "Sleeping with the Enemy" just touched the surface and replaced the bad husband with some creepy new guy.
It has taken me 8 years to recover from an emotional/abusive marriage. If you are in a relationship where you are questioning yourself GET OUT NOW. It will never get better. I have lost 20 years of my life.
For anyone who's watched this already.. Is this movie any good, in your opinion? Love Anna Kendrick, so I want it to be good.. Buuuuut, it's unfortunately received pretty poor reviews overall. Huge bummer. Although, if someone replies to me saying it's worth a watch, I'll for sure check it out. Thanks in advance for any replies.
Its good, its just not a comedy or a thriller. Its the kind of movie you watch for the well written true to life characters and to have a good cathartic cry. I saw it and enjoyed the story and it even gave me a bit of perspective i didn't have before as a guy
@@DanyTheMe hey I appreciate the reply. I have yet to watch it. So I’ll probably take your recommendation and check it out. What platform did you watch it on?
This is one BORING PREDICTABLE film. I was hoping it would be more. It wasn’t. 15 minutes in I was like this was definitely directed by a women. YEP, and yep not in a good way. BTW if u watched this trailer, that is the entire movie, only drawn out over an hours, there is nothing more. Good acting yet a Uber 💤💤💤 yawn fest. Male bad - women good theme, not that abuse isn’t a good subject matter but this is so cliche (so obvious chick directed). 🙄 why r many even most women directors inferior ?
Manipulation can feel like Love . Perfectly shows you how 1 person can become god and the rest of the world doesnt mean anything. The root of suffering is attachment. Stop hating on this movie guys. Its simple and well made . No drama no violence.
I’m excited to see this but these can be hard for me to watch because my mother was in an extremely emotionally and physically abusive relationship. I no longer recognized the woman I once knew. Growing up in an environment like this was so overwhelming and suffocating.
These types of relationships are scary. They start off all sunshine and roses (like any other relationship) but before you know it, typically the man, has control and is slowly eroding your self confidence to the point that you can't see how toxic the situation is and you are afraid to talk to anyone else about it. Quite the advert for staying single!!!
Abuse doesn't have to be physical to leave marks. This trailer made me imagine a butterfly in the cage of someone's hands. There's this sense of being frantic and utterly panicked with no possible means of escape. The use of darling doesn't feel endearing, it feels like a claim of ownership with this taste of belittlement when he says it that really raised the hair on the back of my neck.
Then u should definitely leave. Then get therapy. I did the same thing. Last time I ended up in the ICU was the last straw. I committed myself to years of therapy and got my life back. Get a PTO move out of state as the YWCA for help. Anything, the help is out there. Call a domestic violence shelter or something. Hell have a family member set it up so he don't find out. Anything u have to do to escape. Emotional abuse is worse than the physical and it can escalate to physical.
this will devastate me, emotionally, physically, spiritually. but I hope that anyone who has ever been in or is in an emotionally manipulative and abusive relationship knows that people who love them- TRULY LOVE THEM- would NEVER behave that way towards them. and I hope you find the strength and courage to leave one day. it will be the best thing you will ever do for yourself. I PROMISE you. Anna Kendrick about to give the performance of a lifetime, and i'm THRILLED to see Kaniehtiio Horn (from Letterkenny) in this as well!
@@endor8witch I've heard a few female entertainers say their songs about abuse in relationship isn't actually a bf gf relationship but Hollywood interactions.
They have a special way of making you feel terribly flawed and loved and despised and useless and yet cared for all at once, toppling you from pedestal to pyre and back again over and over, and yes. You slowly lose yourself and go entirely insane. This movie touching upon this subject is drastically important.
Oh no, I saw Anna Kendrick so I immediately clicked especially since it's Christmas season. But what is this, I can't imagine wanting to sit and get through this movie, this looks so unsettling and scary. Definitely not a feel good movie.
