What made Nellie Bly extraordinary was her commitment to thinking independently.

Chalamet is adored, not for who he is, but for what he represents: curated vulnerability, commodified depth, and the illusion of freedom.

This is not the usual breathless celebrity worship or nostalgia-laced filmography. Instead, it’s a full-body philosophical dive into what happens when an actor refuses to brand himself, monetize his grief...
