Not gonna lie. Seems like a bad faith take to me.

But okay, let's elaborate. :) Wouldn't you agree that there is a singular event in the movie that stands out both tonally and narratively. A event that most movie watchers would find surprising, shocking even, and might take offense with? I mean I'm sure there are some cinematically literate geniuses that read all the minute foreshadowing and then felt elated when their predictions came through, or some psychos that really get their kinks in that type of content, but "generally" speaking?

Not a bad faith take, and I disagree that the movie has anything like that. Sure there are events that stand out as significant, and one of them stands out as most significant, but I really don't think it stands out in a bad or offensive way unless you just don't like that sometimes sad things happen in movies. But maybe we're not talking about the same thing. I have no way of knowing.

It think the disconnect here is what we consider "sad". To me that event was "horrific" or "disturbing" and left a lasting and negative impression. To me that wasn't a "eh whatever, it's sad but shit happens" situation.
