I think it's because I had a "friend" in grade school who was exactly the type of bitch Sue is lol

and also Sue is the daughter of a doctor, she's from a prominent family- Carrie is poor, an illegitimate child of her Christian mother- there's definitely class tension. Sue, because of her class position, decides she knows what's best for Carrie. In the end she suffers for her own hubris.

Like who is he lol

are they supposed to be post-hippies or baby liberals or what

Also the character of Tommy Ross. He's so one dimensional. Because he's a sensitive poet with blond ringlets? They feel bad for Carrie but they never befriend her outside of their scheme to intervene in Carrie's life, which decides her fate.

Yes. The mother's diatribes!

Her redemption arc is a failure and if it was successful, the film itself would have failed.

also film

who are some music critics I should read to get a feel for how it's done

I take my own advice too

That's fucking breathtaking

and the Spirit will guide you anyway which is you and in tandem with others

Focus on yourself. Let God worry about that.
