The defence The Popcorn Loyalist
“Sincerity is not manipulation.”
The film risks embarrassment to make emotion communal, and that openness is harder than fashionable detachment.

“The strings are showing.”
Every cue tells you exactly what to feel and when, leaving sentiment to do the work character should have done.
