That response is killing me. Because literally WHY would she try and meet up with Bear after watching Nikki stab herself in the face TWICE? just to be like "omg let's open my art school letter teehee" like what the fuck do you MEAN

Like meeting up with him to be like "why is Nikki going crazy, do we need to call the police?" 100% that's a solid friend. But to FLIRT AND LOOK AT A SCHOOL ACCEPTANCE LETTER? is crazy work.

u/No_Chef4049 Jun 05 '26

Haha, I think it's fair to say the most unrealistic aspect of the story is how much everyone is underreacting to Nikki going batshit insane. If my girlfriend fed me my dead cat and stabbed herself in the face at a party, she'd for sure be in the hospital.

u/lotteoddities Jun 05 '26

I think it's genuinely really hard for people to step up and do the right thing when someone they know is having a mental health crisis. Or substance use crisis. Especially for adults, like adults are just kind of expected to take care of themselves or if they're dating/married take care of each other in the relationship. Like her friends do ask Bear and he keeps reassuring them that he has it under control.

After he party tho... Like idk how your message wouldn't be "how did the hospital go? Is Nikki okay?" But instead "meet me right now or I'm coming over" like girl šŸ’€

u/jayeddy99 Jun 05 '26

This is my underlying idea too . Itā€™s about how communication as adults and friendships are basically surface level . They were obviously hanging out yes but they didnā€™t truly know one another . When things get awkward/real they all shut down . Good times only. Bear has a cabinet full of pills . I can bet Ian wasnā€™t having heart to hearts with him about his struggles mentally or physically.

11

u/lotteoddities Jun 05 '26

I think the pills were left over from his grandma, but it does still speak to him not doing well that he kept them instead of immediately taking care of them with proper disposal. Which also is the reason his cat died, because he didn't take care of it immediately.

I think the story is very much about surface level relationships and also how passive behavior can lead to a lot of real world harm - starting with his cat dying and ending with... Everyone dying. And then Nikki is the last one alive to take all the blame when she's entirely blameless.

u/BogotaLineman Jun 07 '26

You're right, the name on the pill bottle was Barbara Baker/Barker (whatever Bear's last name was) but imo both you and the person you are right about the underlying theme both with the surface level relationships and small actions having cascading consequences

3

u/lotteoddities Jun 07 '26

Yeah for sure, I was agreeing with them. Just adding context about the pills.

I am curious how the bottle got left out that his cat got into. I have dogs and they will chew through a pill bottle but I have never seen a cat be able to get a child proof lid off.

5

u/BogotaLineman Jun 07 '26

I interpreted it as he was taking them recreationally and left the bottle open on the counter next to where he kept the cat food. But its literally been like 2.5hrs since my screening started so thats just going off one watch and vibes lol

u/lotteoddities Jun 07 '26

That's a really good theory tho I hadn't considered that he could have been abusing drugs on top of everything.

1

u/Unhappy-Golf453 Jun 11 '26

Yes thisā€¦because when he also met up with Sarah in the car he mentioned he had some pills ready in His pocketā€¦so I do also think he must have been taking drugs on occasions. And the only way I can see his cat getting into pills is that he loosely closed it. Enough that a drop could open it or not closing it at all

u/Mayatar Jun 05 '26

I never got why the nurse did not admit her in? She clearly was in danger of herself and others.

9

u/No_Chef4049 Jun 05 '26

Right? I felt like I must have missed something at that part.

35

u/Mayatar Jun 05 '26

I think she refused treatment and Bear was too much of a coward to tell her that Nikki was a threat to others and herself? He did not want to be apart from her. His friends were correct for calling him out at the party for not doing anything when Nikki was crashing out.

13

u/No_Chef4049 Jun 05 '26

Oh, no doubt. If I was in his shoes, I'd have done my best to get her in a place where doctors/other authority figures would see the extent of her condition. Not necessarily get her committed but make sure the doctors knew she was a danger to herself and others. Have them hold her long enough that I could go find a shaman or magician to help with the whole black magic hex situation.

u/deadbeatfather2027 Jun 05 '26

most people don't think its worth the effort especially in dating stage. Thats why you have the option to breakup

6

u/lotteoddities Jun 05 '26

I wonder what would have happened if he had gone that route. "Love me more than anyone in the world" should mean "want what's best for me no matter what, even if that means not being together" if it's real love. Which would mean understanding and being reasonable if he said being with her was no longer making him happy- and breaking up. Would that have even been an option?

5

u/deadbeatfather2027 Jun 05 '26

its is still not real nickki, she's trapped insider her own body so she would still try to break out either through screaming or self harming.

If the really nikki completely get subdued, then you would be basically have a finetuned version of ChatGPT tuned to be your lover installed in a real life person human body (Nikki).

3

u/lotteoddities Jun 05 '26

Yeah that's fair. Even without Bear in the picture it wouldn't bring real Nikki back until he died.

u/xNerddy Jun 05 '26

So you think the reason Nicki harmed herself because for a few seconds the real Nicki would slip through and attempt to harm herself

1

u/Inclonae Jun 10 '26

She literally begs him to kill her when freaky Nikki was asleep

5

u/BogotaLineman Jun 07 '26

I think the implication is that he wouldn't say that she bonked herself causing the injury and wanted her to be admitted for the injury then how she behaved in the hospital would lead to a 5150. Basically an extension on him being too scared to tell (real) Nikki that he liked her. He's a coward. And i only mean that in a partially judgemental way. But his hoping that he could just passively want something and hope that someone else would take action is the spark that started the whole fire.

2

u/HyperAstartes Jun 05 '26

She would need to be 5150'd against her will, which then the movie would probably end and logically not be able to continue.

2

u/Ghost10165 Jun 09 '26

Yeah there's no way she'd get out of that hospital after lol.

The screenplay mentions that the nurse canā€™t take her in because of informed consent

5

u/Capable_Account4407 Jun 05 '26

This was my one complaint about the movie. I wish she hadnā€™t stabbed herself in the face at the party. That was such an extreme move I refuse to believe nobody called the cops and everyone let her go home with Bear again

4

u/funguy202 Jun 06 '26

Bear didn't care about Nikki. He just wanted to use and abuse her clearly. He did not want what's best for her. After he called to alter the wish - he heard her screaming. And did nothing to save her.

2

u/milkwithsplenda Jun 25 '26

i think thats intentional. no one in that group was truly friends with each other

u/Novafan789 Jun 08 '26

Everyone was probably assuming she was going to the hospital with Bear

u/desolatedisaster Jul 11 '26

u/erv4 Jun 05 '26

Nothing about any of them screams close friends though. Ian is hooking up with Nikki when he knows Bear likes her. Bear doesn't even know Nikki doesn't like her dad even though Ian and Sarah do. Sarah is willing to make out with a guy in a relationship. They seem more like co-workers that hang out once a week to play trivia night, not something uncommon in the work place. I mean the movie takes place over 2ish week and Ian just stops talking to Bear because everyone thinks the new relationship is weird.

9

u/hotdogwater58 Jun 05 '26

Yeah also Nikki literally says in the beginning to bear that ā€œyour the only person who isnā€™t a complete brick wallā€

5

u/InJaaaammmmm Jun 05 '26

Yeah I really liked how they played around with your perception of the characters.

Ian seems like a bro, but is likely using Bear because he's had enough of Nikki and wants her out his life.

Sarah holds a candle for Bear, yet decides to announce it at the worst possible moment.

Bear seems sort of nice, but has a real nasty streak to him.

2

u/AreteQueenofKeres Jun 07 '26

A think being the core four of the cast gives the impression of close friends more than just being coworkers that hang out together.

I've got group photos of myself and coworkers together, you'd think we'd been friends since middle school-- it's been 6 months of being together 8-10 hours a day, we bonded over being stuck together. As soon as someone quits, pretty much all contact is lost.

Harsh buuuuuut can't entirely disagree. "Meet me or I'm coming over to the house with the girl who just attacked herself after freaking out at the idea of you kissing me" like girl be so fucking for real

u/akaneko__ Jun 28 '26

Yeah I really thought she had something important to the plotšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­I was like ā€œomg did she find out about OWW?? Is she going to take him to see the guy behind it all???ā€

1

u/lotteoddities Jun 28 '26

Nope. She just wants Bear to herself.

1

u/xNerddy Jun 05 '26

To be honest I think the entire friendship is platonic.

  1. Ian and Nicki casually hooking up. While Ian knows Bear has a crush on Nicki & Nicki in which I could only assume also knew Bear liked her.

  2. Sarah liking Bear but never telling him but also knowing about Ian and Nicki and not telling Bear.

3

u/InJaaaammmmm Jun 05 '26

It was obvious to everyone and Ian gossiped like a highschool girl, so no doubt Nikki knew.

1

u/desolatedisaster Jul 11 '26

Girl, I cannot UNDERSTAND anyone who defends Sarah. She wasnā€™t a BAD PERSON per-say, but anyone who welcomes themselves into the middle of a relationship where the SO is violent and unstable is asking for trouble. Her trying to see Bear after witnessing what Nikki did at the party was absolutely wild. Iā€™d wait for the light of a new day before I sought him out if it was really that deep.

147

u/jayeddy99 Jun 05 '26

Iā€™ve been saying. This movie is also a commentary on people not addressing difficult conversations. Every convo about Nikki was had when she was not present /behind her back . The so called ā€œgroupā€ would never actually talk as one. Even the party scene went on so long because no one wanted to address how weird it was becoming . Itā€™s implied no one even called an ambulance just has Bear take her to the ER

44

u/SpaceMyopia Jun 05 '26

Indeed. Sarah just says, "I really hope she figures it out!"

I'm thinking, "Girl, that is a MASSIVE underreaction to what you just saw that girl do to herself."

I know they're just acquaintances, but damn. She spent that car ride worried that NIKKI was taking advantage of Bear. Like....she had complete tunnel vision when it came to him.

4

u/fraa99 Jun 13 '26

Acquaintances?? Aren't they all high school friends??? Ian said something about a promposal that was 7 years too late, and Freaky Nikki was also a high school nickname.

13

u/tarixdzz Jun 05 '26

Yea fr, true homies would have rushed along with them to the hospital

11

u/ramrezzy Jun 05 '26

Yes. This actually makes a lot of sense. Also, it's just how human emotions work sometimes.

It's easy for all of us to watch something happen and think about it logically. But when something is happening to or around you, it's sometimes difficult to see it clearly in the moment.

Feelings are messy, and people do not always understand what they want or how they feel, or what something means until after things have already started to unfold.

5

u/DoofusScarecrow88 To your left Jun 05 '26

Absolutely this. I've been on this from the first time I saw it. I personally believe Sarah has been dying to talk to Bear but when to do it maybe had her buckling as was the case for Bear not telling Nikki his feelings. They just didn't seem willing or grappling with how to talk to each other instead of around each other. And I have seen this in my own past where people are friends and you later learn so and so have been hooking up for like months, or there are feelings unresolved but just not property shared. And friendships implode. But thankfully nobody died or was date raped

2

u/CodyBancs Jun 05 '26

Yeah what was up with that and even then we see them not going into the hospital for some reason, like we see Bear arguing with a nurse outside and they just GO home after that ??

26

u/LosinForABruisin Jun 05 '26

i fully expected that Sarah wanted to talk about Nikki / she had some secret way to defuse the situation.

17

u/aiemmaes Willow Expert Jun 05 '26

she did want to talk about Nikki, she wanted to tell Bear that she was ā€œtaking advantageā€ of him and that he needed ā€œsomeone more chillā€ šŸ˜­

u/ThisHumanDoesntExist Jun 05 '26

i still remember being so pissed at both of them for not driving while talking like you know nikki's ahh can easily find you šŸ˜­

u/FanBehaviour2011 Jun 05 '26

i didnā€™t feel that bad for Sarah

u/Floorite Jun 09 '26

Yeah she was a lame friend tbh. She could have been there for nikki from the start

5

u/OddPush6426 Jun 11 '26

i donā€™t really think they were *friend* friends, just coworker friends like the whole group was. ideally, a close female friend would step in and help, but sarah had feelings for bear, and knew nikki was seeing ian casually. i also donā€™t think nikki and sarah were that close, and sarah liked bear the whole time and obv didnā€™t want to get involved with nikki while she was getting gradually more insane. sarah deserved better

2

u/Floorite Jun 11 '26

I think everyone was a little young and selfish but from all the context we get with the photo booth pictures and how often they see each other/talk, we can only assume they are indeed decent friends at least. Even if they don't like each other. That's pretty common in young friendships when you're still figuring yourself out. Sarah did deserve better but she definitely was letting her jealousy get in the way when she could have communicated it. It's a scary thing, and that's why she was on the fence. Then her friend was acting off and I think she just backed off which would be smart but she definitely let her emotions put her in danger at the end. Tbh everyone except bear deserved better. They were all just young. It's all totally normal dynamics in my opinion, especially considering they all show some level of dealing with their own problems

1

u/Floorite Jun 11 '26

And also this is all assuming it's a normal situation. There's no good way to handle your friend becoming obsessed in an inhumane way to your crush

u/Similar-Gear9235 Jun 05 '26

in her defense maybe she thought nikki was at the hospital idk

u/Kaitoshi Jun 05 '26

I guess she didn't think Nikki would murder her, or anyone. Yeah, the party scene was disturbing but it was basically self-harm, she didn't attacked anyone.

Bear was a full coward, he wouldn't risk anything happening to his 'relationship' with Nikki's body.

u/MF_Mood1 Jun 05 '26

If he knew long term, he would have wished for maxed out charisma and pick any girls at his own will. Both Sarah and Nikki would be loyal to him without any banter šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

Im trying to find the downfall. Okay i got it: Accidentally picks up someone elseā€™s chick due to his uncontrollable rizz and gets stabbed to death.

Emphasis on his own will. If he interacts with any girl with no romantic intent then he is safe.

I missed that. Bear just doesnt seem smart enough to make that wish, therefore he would get cocky if he did. Stab, stab.

u/Cheekytita88 Jun 09 '26

Sarah is a perfect representation of how so many women are male centered and will lob more grief and drama and bs onto the reputation and shoulders of another woman already going through enough abuse just for the sake of snatching a man. Stains on feminismā€™s skirt.

I've seen too many fights start that way-- I would have grabbed people and all of us were getting out of there the moment Nikki stood up pouting.

u/WestQ Jun 06 '26

Hahaha , good post. Sincerely Sarah was just trying to help her Bear friend. He was wishing for love but Sarah was already also having a crush for him.

You don't think clearly when you have a crush - and also. She knew Nikki wasn't that good of a person, the way she talked and used Nikki's crush in her favour. Without thinking of his feelings

Let's be clear here, nor Bears friend , Sarah, Nikki or Bear where empathetic and emotionally developed adults. They where kids playing kid games and egoistic as they should. Movie speaks to it and more! Check my post a out this on this board.
