    The mere concept of "mourning the living" is so heartbreaking that I can't even imagine it. Like how do you let go of someone still alive? But damn the house in this movie is beautiful.

    ★★★★

    Holy shit the acting, the hour-long one-take episodes, how raw and unfiltered the show's portrayal was, how it sparked so much reflection on modern-day parenting, teenage social life, toxic masculinity, and social media—so much respect. Even though I didn't love it as a whole, it deserves at least a 4/5 for its novelty and ambition.

    Fuck I'm afraid it's about time I bump "La La Land" out of my top 4. It was on a random night in a dorm room from a laptop screen, but that's what made it perfect. I've loved this movie for a while, but I fully get it now.
