Accidental Film Critique Jargon

I accidentally said ‘it insists upon itself’ in a film critique

The reaction captures the cringe of unintentionally sounding pretentious or making a controversial pop-culture reference. People send it when they regret saying something overly intellectual, awkward, or self-important.
