  ★★★★½ Watched 17 Feb 2025

  Honestly took this film with a pinch of salt going into it knowing that it was highly rated, it turned out to be one of the greatest yet simplest piece of heart-shattering art I've seen. Totally underestimated its impact because i watched it before bed and had to deal with a few fragmented dreams here and there. "We will always get old" , truly a masterpiece and a constant remembrance of the greatness of life that is the mundane.

  Tokyo Godfathers 2003

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Jan 2025

  on a Satoshi Kon run at the moment, such a beautiful Christmas film filled with reality and true love. The warmth from Hana touched my head.

  full of joy and soul, reignited the true spirit of Christmas and what it means to be family.
