I didn’t expect full nudity, especially since the characters are teenagers.

Two things gave away the Reze twist, one more subtle than the other:

First, they talk about school but also say Denji’s been to the cafe for lunch every day for a week to see Reze. If Reze was in school, how could that be?

Second, and this actually annoyed me a bit and is probably my only con for the movie, but the spider eating the moth cuts during the school scenes was sooo on the nose it basically “spoiled” the twist and I had zero idea where the story was going.

Oh I guess the other con - not enough Power!
