I really struggle with Pearl I just cannot put to words how unlikeable she is and how incomprehensible the choice to make your protagonist this way. Like I'm not asking for her to not be villainous I'm asking for her to be sympathetic, which she isn't. Her selfishness is so blatant and annoying sure her mother was mean but she was 70% right about all she said. Like even in the ending which I already expressed is awful bc it's tell not show and it comes out of NOWHERE (like the baby thing, tell me that isn't bewildering from a storytelling point) she is just thinking of what SHE can't have and what SHE can't be completely ignoring everything else going in the world like I don't know THE FUCKING PANDEMIC LEAVING PEOPLE QUADRIPLEGIC AND THE WAR WHICH IS DOING THE SAME PROBABLY TOO. I get it's because her isolation but christ alive girl that's no excuse. Think of someone who isn't yourself for once I hate this woman I hate this movie I genuinely don't get it.
