my absolute favourite movie. sticks with you forever.
A genuinely horrific movie, made more as a warning than entertainment. And it certainly delivers.
This was the wrong movie to watch while in quarantine for a global pandemic.
Very disturbing and doesn't shy away from showing the true disastrous nature of nuclear war.
In 2020, this feels too real. Questions of why we are here and how we got here followed for me. This film is so fathomable, it's actually quite scary. Makes the Fallout universe seem like Disneyland. "Depressing" is putting it lightly.
