"This one’s bittersweet since I love it so much for how bleak and morbid it is, but it sucks it was made by a director who’s done something so heinous. Jack Nicholson kills it as always, that ending tho? It’s Chinatown 🤷🏾‍♂️"

"Must see movie. If you haven’t you are in for a treat this cast with Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, etc. And the movie is set back in the day. There are so many layers to this movie. Each time I watch this I see something I hadn’t before. #mustsee "
