DIRECTOR'S CUT: Therapist Reacts to STARDUST (Patreon)

What makes love lasting? How do you know if it's actually love?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright look at the different relationships in Stardust to contrast infatuation and love. Tristan's relationship with Victoria is all about one-sided infatuation, him trying to prove himself worthy of her affection while she looks down on him (simp culture!). But Tristan's relationship with Yvaine is all about both of them growing as individuals, getting to know and care for each other, and reciprocal love and affection. We also get the single most important hair transformation for Charlie Cox, and possibly Robert De Niro's greatest performance. This movie is sheer delight!
