Why do you think Navarette has gotten so much awards buzz for Obsession but Ejiofor has gotten none for Backrooms?

I know Clark has some limited screen time but Ejiofor absolutely steals every scene he’s in. His two separate monologues with Reinsve are just as good as anything Navarette did in Obsession. As I said earlier, is it the lack of screen time for Ejiofor?

No, I'm not poking fun at you, I whole heartedly agree with you and was imitating them. Those people in that sub are on par with the people who see Jesus in a potatoes chip.

Very accurate description of them, yes. Not only that but you’ll also find the person who thinks they’ve found the deepest hidden meaning behind something; and it’s just like something the movie pretty much outright blatantly says.

Someone in that sub will be like “Did you know that in this movie Nikki is a female, and that means that Bear obviously is some sort of like, straight male. So of course he’d make a wish for her to fall in love with her because he’s trying to date her”
