watched this a week ago, and i’m still thinking about it, i can’t stop telling my friends they should watch it. for people who grew up in the bay area, especially descendants of immigrant families, it hits so close to home and is a must-watch!! it’s like if mid-90s and ladybird had a beautiful gorgeous baby tw: extreme amounts of second-hand embarrassment while watching
i asked my coworkers if they also had a kid in their class who picked up a dead squirrel and they said no… but one of their teachers once brought in a dead bobcat
fantastic documentary i watched on mubi last night. the director just followed around his autistic cousin and his family for one summer. his cousin is obsessed with the show survivor and ends every day recounting his day in the form of an episode of survivor, voting off whichever sibling of his that was being to him that day. it’s a beautiful portrait of this family and the camera never gets in the way of how these people act around each other. everything is told so authentically and honestly and captures what it’s like to have/live with autism beautifully. it’s also so so so funny. anyone who has siblings know the vibes of this movie automatically. i adored it and would highly recommend it. it’s only an hour long too!!
directed by the great dave lachapelle. i still remember seeing this on mtv when it came out and being completely 👁️👄👁️ as a like 7 year old. the transitions!!!! the plot, the aesthetic, the acting....it's everything.
Beautiful doc about skate culture, toxic masculinity, abuse, and friendship. Made me sob when I first watched 6-7 years ago and still makes me tear up when I think of it
