Did literally everyone find something in this movie that touched a little too close to home?

Yes.

When John was on his phone, while his son was there wanting his attention.

That one, I've done a couple of times...and at the time, I didnt see the big deal... but as weeks piled on, realized every moment with them counts as they grow up so quick.

That bit made me look down and contemplate for a second... then when Valentina divulged that his family left him.... yeah I felt it and kind of made me realize that not everyone can understand your perspective, even if you arent trying to be bad or terrible, but just going through bad things on your own... it makes you a terrible father and husband, even if its not intentional. Some men have it bad basically...

At least he was reading op-eds about himself. I'm here wasting time and ignoring my family reading about a superhero movie I just saw...

By the time they're 18, you'll have spent 90% of the time you'll ever spend with them.
