And they're all from different periods of this character's life. And I just felt like I was also watching the Hall of Demi Moore.

And then she gets to the bathroom, and I believe there's, like, somebody's cleaning the women's room.

So what does she have to do? She goes into the men's bathroom. That is the Demi Moore's shot or sequence maybe ever. Yeah. And this movie is so dialed in in its way because it's not about America.

This movie, to me, and when she gets into the bathroom, you have the Dennis Quaid character in the bathroom talking about how over the hill Demi Moore is as an actress.
