Very good film

Such a good film, firstly, I didn't expect so few people to watch it, and secondly, I didn't expect that I was the first person to write a comment.
I just finished watching a very good film. Although it was made by the director who directed it for the first time, it is not surprising that it won an Oscar in terms of its quality. When watching this film, I couldn't help but think of "Good Will Hunting". Personally, the former is better than the latter.
It may be related to the fact that I have learned a little bit of psychology. In the process of watching the film, I felt that the director was more truthful and in place in the process of handling psychological counseling, rather than making up mystery or making up. The plain narrative of the storyline shows the director's confidence and skill, while the tragic ending adds to the tension of the film.
Haha, there are still good works in the early Oscar-winning films.

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett: I've never really talked about it. To doctors. But, not to anyone else. You're the first who's asked.

    Jeannine: Why did you do it?

    Conrad "Con" Jarrett: Uh... I don't know. It was like... falling into a hole. It keeps getting bigger and bigger and you can't escape. All of a sudden, it's inside... and you're the hole. You're trapped. And it's all over. Something like that. It's not really scary... except when you think back on it. 'Cause you know what you were feeling...
