Brooklyn 2015
Great chemistry, setting felt a little small for taking place in such expansive areas. Pacing was a little fast, sure the book was able to explore the depth of how long the pain of leaving everything you know can be. Extended cast really made the movie. And the uncomplicated plot was a nice break from trying to reinvent the wheel. Sentimental, wholesome, and does everything good! But didn't really excel at anything particular (not that that's a bad thing)

Porco Rosso 1992
Straddles the line of youthful naivety and middle-aged jadedness very well. But that also stops it excelling in either direction too much. Feels perfect for a grandpa to watch with his granddaughter while she's visiting for the week. Good summer color palette and setting, which will always win me over

A Summer's Tale 1996
Encapsulation of the consequences of the paralysis of choice, how sometimes we don't learn what we should, and life goes on. Beautiful
