sometimes your heart aches so softly you stop noticing it after a while

Men Don't Cry
★★★★★ Liked

The Balkans 12 angry men. Funny and heartbreaking at the same time

Great Freedom
★★★★★ Liked

Creating your own version of freedom when the systems in place deny you it; triumphant love in place of defeated submission. An insane balancing act executed to perfection

Joyland
★★★★½ Liked

Joyland is a devastating tale where almost everyone is guilty, but no one, in particular, is to blame.

The Stag

I frantically google if reindeers felt pain in their antlers

I thought the “millions” in the title How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies was referring to money, but it turns out it was referring to tears.

A masterpiece. Absolutely nothing about this is a surprise, every beat is what you expect, yet it grips you as if it were a twisty thriller. Marvellous performances, direction, flawless in every aspect.
