What is an existential crisis?
An existential crisis is a moment of profound introspection where an individual questions the meaning, purpose, or value of their life. It often involves feelings of anxiety or confusion about one's existence. Jacob Elordi's reflections after filming The Dog Stars, wondering "What else is there?", touch on these very themes.
