devastating watch but still a film I really loved. I think the way this film captures trauma and pain is incredible, and for me, it does that best towards the end โ through conversation and the final monologue. I didnโt expect to cry as much as I did. and I didnโt expect to feel as heavy as I currently do after watching it.
i stared at a wall for 2 hours afterwards. genuinely such a beautiful, heart-wrenching insight on trauma and how it can affect people years and years later. it made me feel empty, yet so seen and understood. it does a good job at being respectful while still being brutally honest. itโs a hard watch at times, but would definitely recommend.
The Florida Project - a bittersweet movie depending on which ending you subscribe to
Aftersun - a slow and subtle build to a heart breaking climax
The Iron Claw - a devastating movie based on an even more devastating true story
Sing Sing - overall a hopeful movie but there's a few very hard hitting human moments
I Saw The TV Glow - already brutal, and then you figure out what it's really saying
The Lobster - just bleak man
Beautiful Something Left Behind - a documentary about children dealing with grief
The first two lines of the chorus:
'You can never be strong,
You can only be free' Sums up everything great about Robert Pollard's songwriting. Drama, hope and disappointment.
