"Our protagonist starts off ____ and through many adventures throughout the film and many lessons learned, ends up resting ____"
Trying not to spoil the film but the payoff fell a little flat for me. I did have a very good time and laughed a lot though.
I thought Swiss Army Man had more emotional impact to be honest.

Of course many stories work like that but that doesn't really matter. What I loved about it is how effectively it deals with depression and family issues and midlife crises and general bleak nihilism and the value of human connection in overcoming all that. Also not exactly new, but the way they present it just makes it hit really hard for me
