The worst part? The movie was filmed in Ohio (though not in East Palestine itself), and some residents had worked on it as extras.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Noah Baumbach's wacky, over-the-top, super-stylized vision of the 1980s is completely at odds with the book's mildly surreal atmosphere, which has elements of casual strangeness set against the backdrop of an intentionally mundane, everyday-version of the Reagan Era meant to evoke the ennui much of Middle America was experiencing at the time in spite of the era's financial prosperity. Ending the movie with a [spoiler: elaborate musical number instead of a sequence in which the main characters all realize they're going to die one day while watching a beautiful sunset caused by toxic chemicals that are slowly killing them] indicates Baumbach had a radically different interpretation of the book than virtually everyone else who read it.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Jack experiences one in the book, when his family (along with a lot of other people) are displaced from their homes because of the Airborne Toxic Event.
