  Brief Encounter 1945

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 24 Jul 2022

  It's so devastating when we return to the beginning of the movie at the end. We know at the beginning something is wrong. And we either get slapped across the face when we return or as we get swept up in this relationship we feel increasing dread about returning to it. And then showing it to us from different angles adds to it. The intrusion feels more abrasive. The interruption more immediate.
