Shooting my heart dead
Where do I even start? The storytelling was superb. How the first person POV fits the whole narrative will always get me. I watched this twice already yet still felt the same pain. So much more pain, even. This film literally shot my heart dead. Twice.
I love how they used the scenes to evoke specific emotions from the audience. Scenes that are so mundane, so natural, so human. Not a thread of forced sympathy was weaved in this beauty of a story. The message was quite subtle and fragile (you just want to take care of it and watch it evolve/unfold), but the way they portrayed it was loud. Loud with reality, not with noise.
Also, the actors were stellar! They brought the characters to life. They have this nuance and amazing understanding of the characters’ core and embodied that for the world to see.
Need I say more? Because. I cried. A lot. More than a lot.
