    Happy Together

    WKW always has gut-fucking heart wrenching depictions of loneliness. Happy Together is for sure no exception. 

    Also just dances into tough themes that are hard to make into a film this beautiful and watchable:
    The tragic desperation in the toxic cycles we go through to feel close. The emotional pits that are real damn deep and take a wild amount of will to crawl out of. The doubt of if we have a will at all in those places. 

    Tony Leung is off the chain.

    Goofy af sorkin satire 

    Glenn howerton pulls off Benedictine monk haircut and makes a lot of very good faces 

    Proud of them for securing the like 400 dollar budget that it took to make a movie about BlackBerrys

    loved all the old footage especially. 
    put together gorgeously. 

    wish the voice over was even simpler maybe only his interviews. 

    great perspective of Bowie’s philosophies on identity, growth, change, intimacy, and fear. 

    good movie I think.
