Rec | THE LAST SHOWGIRL

👠

1/19/25 This movie was by no means perfect, but it wasn’t trying to be. It was what it was and knew that just that is enough. It’s been a week since I saw this and am realizing it really hit me hard. I’ve somehow never experienced something so hopeful and buoyant yet devastating and having a way of making me feel so damn insignificant in this universe. … I don’t know. Maybe I read into it a bit much.

The last showgirl °.𖥔 ݁ ˖⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Recently watched and absolutely loved! <3 Cried throughout most of it, although it left a lot unsaid the emotion the film embodies makes up for it. I felt it really portrays that special feeling/connection of loving your craft so passionately, in such a raw sometimes painful way. Def recommend specially to dancers, artists, women <3

Me & Earl & The dying girl review

I’m always keeping my thoughts on the few films I choose to write about solely within the pages of my notes up, so I figured what the heck! Maybe someone out there might like the two cents I want to spend on talking about a film that moved me :] Spoilers, ofc!!! (2/2/25) Absolutely beautiful film. Watched it with katlafo, and we were both sobbing messes by the end. Throughout the beginning, I spent so much time trying to analyze the film, thinking I HAD to figure out the underlying message of a film I’d heard so much about before I’d even truly experienced it for myself. Man. The scene where Greg shows Rachel her film was so beautiful. Again, I tried to pin point what it all meant in the moment—the constant cuts to Greg and Rachel’s pained expressions, the long shots of seemingly symbolic stop-motion—but I realized that that was exactly what was keeping me from what I longed for. So I sat there, and felt. And cried, and cried. Later, the scene where Greg chooses to go to Rachel’s room, allowing himself to simply exist in the silence, taking in the remnants of her life, it was all so beautiful; the tears just wouldn’t stop, haha. While I didn’t leave this film with some life changing message I was subconsciously searching for, I feel this movie reminds me to love myself the way I do others; and to do things because they matter to ME, because I care about them. While I want to say I’ll never trust anything that tells me someone or something won’t die at the end, I know that’s not true.

Ainda estou aqui (I’m still here)

It’s a period of sudden painful goodbyes for me right now and a period of unexpected hello-agains, and I’ve discovered so many new ways to cry in the past couple of weeks, different shades and timbres and tempos of tears. I thought that this movie would destroy me and that I would have mascara and eyeliner running down my face, but it was actually too beautiful and uplifting for me to do that. It really resonated with me and where I am in life right now in some key ways and I’m happy that I went to see it in the theater today. Gorgeous gorgeous story of resilience and joy in the face of adversity and turmoil.
