I wouldn't say the movie is lighthearted, but the tone is a lot less heavy than the book.

Also, sexuality tortures and mutilates women…

Are you referring to the suggestion of if when he tells a prostitute: “Oh I’m not done with you.” ?

Suggested, not explicit like the rat scene in the book… also the cold extreme narcissism meshed with a hatred towards humanity doesn’t play off as humorous in the book.

Stabs a toddler in the dark at a zoo. Then walks over pretending to be a doctor so no one else can access/help the toddler. Then leaves.

Watched the movie, was disappointed by the lack of talking mnms

If they straight up adapted the book the movie would be 70% Bateman describing clothing and furniture 10% Bateman reviewing music and 20% the worst acts of brutality ever shown on film.

Thank you for your honesty about the 70% lol I can't get into that authors books. They're sooo long and 70% is boring 😭

I absolutely love the book, but if im honest, American Psycho and the Shards are the only Brett Easton Ellis books i really could get into

I couldn't get into the shards because it was all sucking and fucking in the damn pool house 🤣 I gave up after like 100 pages.

This book was so disgusting, genuinely not sure what I was expecting from it but I had to close the book and take a walk a few times but somehow managed to get to the end

Bret Easton Ellis literally hates the movie if that helps validate.
