    When a high school prom king and hot chef and friends come into a wrestling ring to duke it out you might think - that’s worth the watch enough. However, you leave the film feeling stunned at the sheer amount of grief and parental relationship strife that actually makes this much heavier of a piece than what you expected. In the end, you are left wondering what was the point at all, maybe it’s just to experience that open ended and should-be-obvious-but-actually -just-confusing knot that is grief itself.

    Sometimes movies haunt your dreams for the rest of your life. How simple and complicated are the scenes that deliciously come together in the truest ghibli style. The wonkiest characters come down to the most raw philosophies- ego, greed, generosity, empathy, avarice, memory, and love. It will make you feel all the feels. Literally

    Cringe humor has an art- how you can induce the look away but can’t look away simultaneously. Nostalgia isn’t always about remembering the rosy parts of the past and this movie has a say in that. Also, human interactions are awkward and cinema doesn’t always acknowledge this. That being said, while this film is special, I still can’t eek out more than 3.5 stars because that would be way too cringe
