  Dayveon 2017

  ★★★ Watched 12 Aug 2020

  Tuck Everlasting 2002

It feels loosely based upon the book which is my biggest criticism. Nonetheless the scenery is really pleasant.

  Moonlight 2016

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Aug 2020

  This is such an amazing movie. I definitely cried multiple times during this. The cinematography is stunning and the soft and atmospheric color palette represents hidden desire and finding your true essence. The ending also leaves room for interpretation in a clever way and places responsibility on the audience to investigate and think of every chapter in detail. I would recommend pausing and making connections between each chapter (ex. the usage of color, prominent sounds you hear throughout every chapter, facial expressions.)
