    Danielle Deadwyler the leading lady you are!!
    Wither at the endddd ahhhhhh, I was listening to this song all week this film fed my soul. Of course stage to film adaptations leave a little to be desired but this had life and the score gave it breath from Fela Kuti to the cast singing Berta Berta - reminding me of the first time I listened to the Alan Lomax tapes. I have nothing sophisticated to say, this was a film that I needed this year with its story branching out connecting time, grief, hope and promise.

    The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes

    ★★½

    This was okay, quite similar to Your Name. I loved to see a female protag after years of watching shoujo anime/reading shoujo manga be as direct as this one was, kind of thinking about that as a bit of a generational shift, in conversation with more traditional tropes. I loved the texts, and the overall theme of grief and the passage of time used for this! It was solid, a little dry but not bad for what it was.
