    “Is there a better description of a cube than of it’s construction?”

    Jaw dropping. Don’t think I’ve watched a 200+ minute movie that was so well paced. The cut to intermission made me gasp. The first half of this is masterful; every choice made is the perfect one. Literally have so many things to say but I can’t find the right words yet. The second half does feel less focused but that didn’t waiver my intrigue in this behemoth of a story. Movie could have just kept going and I would have happily sat for another 215.

    “Have you ever tried to lose yourself? No. No, because you’re too busy trying to find yourself.”

    Feels like one of those movies I’ll put on every few months when I need to feel something. I was always engaged with this, even as the celluloid warped (along with my brain).

    Ahhhhhh what a breath of fresh air this feels like. Gives me everything I’d expect from this type of movie but it’s packaged in a PERFECT 90 min runtime.

    Anaita Wali Zada campaign begins now. This is my fav of the fest so far and it’s going to be tough to dethrone! I felt like I was friends w the character after the movie ended. I think she’ll be alright. I wouldn’t be upset if the director decided to revisit her at different points in her life, at least one person will watch it (me)!!
