DIRECTOR'S CUT: Therapist Reacts to BREAKING DAWN (Patreon)

Jonathan and Alan have almost reached the end of the Twilight saga. Can they make it through?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright break down what's wrong with the relationships in Breaking Dawn. There's some pretty toxic messaging about romantic relationships, with manipulation and abuse and lots of other issues, but at least the plot gets a little more fun! Or at least there's more supernatural punching and a creepy CG baby, and some decent filmmaking happening at times. And Kristen Stewart staring blankly for long periods of time. But also some decent acting at times! It's a nice change of pace!

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright made it through the final installment in the Twilight franchise, from the horror-scene birth, to the creepy CGI baby, to the nightmare that is imprinting. But at least Kristen Stewart finally gets to have a little fun! And there's some kinda-cool action scenes (even if none of them actually happen) to talk about. And Jonathan gets to be done with the torture of the toxic, dysfunctional love-triangle-turned-weird-in-law-situation that is Bella, Edward, and Jacob.

We did it. We reached the end of the Twilight Saga.
