gets somewhat more confusing with prosopagnosia

I suffer from mild facial blindness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosopagnosia I have difficulty recognising people out of context (for example running into a co-worker outside of work) or telling similar looking people apart. doesn't often affect my movie/tv watching but for this one I had difficulty telling Vincent and Chris or Sarah and Anne apart... at first I even assumed Sarah was Anne's real name but then when she showed up ringing the doorbell... also I could've sword that Vincent was Misha Collins at first but doing a really great job at disguising his voice

not really relevant to the movie I guess, but thought I'd share

I had a hard time with that too and I don't have what you have, especially Chris and Vincent.

It's hard to tell the wives and mistresses apart with neurotypical facial recognition abilities; I'd imagine it'd be nigh impossible with any kind of face blindness. All the wives were fairly light skinned with dark hair, and the two lead mistresses were white with blond hair. Three of the main men were white with short dark hair, though Philip's was significantly shorter than the other two.

I suppose a smaller-caliber gun would have to fire baby teeth.

HOLY *beep* YES! Vincent and Chris looked really similar and it was confusing at first. This is why Hollywood needs more diversity, lol :p Reminded me of Resident Evil 1 where the two main white guys looked so similar that a lot of people were confused.
