| Since the movie has officially premiered across the US on January 9th and 10th we need a thread to discuss it for everyone in the US that attended the past couple days. What did you think of the movie? Do you think this is the end of the series or will there be another season or movie? Thoughts on the ending and what Dorothy's smile means? Did you find the ending rushed and/or confusing? |

| Man the ending was amazing. All of this was Laurent's doing. Man is a fucking CHAD. I was never expecting that, hell everyone in the theater was not expecting that. I kinda feel like there are things left off. What happened to my boy Edamame? |
| Why is here an ONA episode series rather than a movie? |
| Shouldn't this be finished? they released 4 episodes as a movie |
| This was a total letdown and nowhere near how good the main season was. Knew Laurent was gonna be involved so it didn't come as a surprise but I do wonder if Dorothy got her memory back or not? Didn't get much Edamame and Abby only had two lines over phone. Well atleast we got Bingyan out if it, she's a fine woman. Idk if this is a setup for a new season/sequel but we'll see. |

| bro really showed up at the end. |
 |
| Why so many 1/5 rating ? |
| the mastermind is laurent all along eh to con or get revenge on the syndicate that shot dorothy but damn dorothy still has amnesia it seems or her smile in the end knows that was laurent her old lover |
Ok but fr I thought that was a nice interlude for the series (even if the ending was a bit confusing), but I think with amount of pay-off it gave we're definitely gonna need more. Personally, I'm still waiting to see: - Dorothy actually getting her full memory back - Proper Laurent/Dorothy reunion (wth was that ending???) - Laurent getting his just-desserts for the psychological abuse he put Edamura through in the first season not me making a whole-ass thread about this cuz it sat with me so hard :") - Edamura properly out-conning Laurent and actually standing on top of everyone |

Didnt Edamura drive in the van and pick them up at the end of the movie or am i crazy? |

I don't know why everyone keep discussing on whether Dorothy really fake her amnesia or not instead of how hot Jay's body is. But here's my take:
I don't think Dorothy fake her amnesia, but she remember all of her memories in the end. There are two possible points of moment when she remember. The first point is when she open her old box which contain Laurent's suit (that has cologne on it), and the second point is at the end, but she's probably remember him from his cologne.
Why I use aroma as an indication for realization? It's the same way Jay get memory back, by smelling either the most favorite or the least favorite scent. In Jay case, it's his least favorite scent (Tofu). In Dorothy case, it's her most favorite scent (Laurent's cologne).
Now, can we get back on Jay's sexiness topic?

| @phantomfandom Damn it, it should have been me in that bathroom falling on Jay! Such a nice character design. Got the same hunk vibes from him as from Clark Ibrahim from the show. |

| I didn´t like! Regular story with a "great point"! 3/10 and lucky! kekeke |
| If it wasn't not MAL I wouldn't even know that this came out. Netflix did a shit job again marketing this show. In fact, it may be worse than last time. It sucks cause Great Pretender deserves better. MAL deserves some insulting too. It's been months but you can't put this movie as Completed. What the fuck is wrong? Anyway, this was an okay movie I guess. It didn't keep me on edge like the show did. I knew this movie was mostly going to be about Dorothy and some new characters but I couldn't really care about them that much. I wanted to see Edamame, Cynthia, Abby, and the blonde asshole back. It sucks that Abby and Cynthia didn't even make any visual appearance. I don't think Cynthia even had any voice lines. I just wanted to see the old gang back. The story of this movie was decent. I was expecting more of a closure with Dorothy and Laurent. But the ending just left me wanting for more. Hopefully, this movie isn't the end and we'll get a proper Season 2 in the same style as Season 1! That'd be amazing. |
| Well, after 4 years seeing Edamura face again is kinda refreshing. Can't say the same about the movie, and i think it's about the format that compressed all that Great Pretender was good at, creating a great plot with an incredible twist at the very end and what a end dammit! Yeah, it was a good movie. Let's just say it at the end. The sceneries, the colors and soundtrack, characters, yeah. I'm just a bit conflicted :') |
 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "I’m feeling sentimental Without you, my room is empty I’m feeling sentimental Feels like yesterday you were laying Only a few centimeters away from me" |
| i have the weird feeling it tried to be too "american" somehow, i'm not sure how to explain it and even if it has been a while since i saw the first season i don't remember the series pushing the vibe this hard and some scenes did in fact happen in the US if I remember correctly lol ah well, it was entertaining glad to see our old MC back tho |
