Ethan van Diemen quote iconStatus Update lazily takes us through the expected turns and twists with no discernible effort to be original and ends exactly the way you expect it to. There are no surprises here except that I didn't get out of my seat halfway in and leave. I wish I had the app to get the time I spent watching this back.
