    Holy fuck this is one of a select few movies where I can't look away from the person that made it in order to enjoy it because the intention seeps into it in a way that makes what could be a compelling and heartfelt premise into something vile and sinister. Knowing about Besson, his marriage, his statements about this film and the existence of its original cut makes me sick.

The catharsis of that running scene, as distressing as is was, punched me right in the gut. Also the animation is hands down one of the more interesting things I've seen stylistically from this studio, and I think it made everything so much more emotionally resonant.

    I've never really been one for tradition, and my family is very sporadic about the holidays, but this is a movie that I love coming back to not for nostalgia but because it's genuinely, simply touching. I'm moved every time and my latest viewing was the first time I cried during it, sometimes art is enough to give a person that sliver of hope they need to keep going, and the world really is better off because of movies like…
