Wow. Push through the main character's annoying behavior at the beginning (classic trope for the body switch type movies, she has to learn a lesson after all!). From the vapor-y beginnings embodying the 80s, to the clever implications of race class and addiction , to the cute incorporation of some music bangers... This whole movie shines ;) (you'll get the reference once you watch it). Superb acting; masterful shifts from fast pacing to slow, ruminating scenes allowing for vapor vibes and dim neony lighting and pool ripples; and good socioeconomic messages (tho if only it proposed revolution, but that's asking for a lot heh). Watch this!
