This was such an interesting one because 15 mins in I was fully ready to give it like half a star and I was like wow I can’t believe I’m continuing to hate-watch this just for letterboxd. But then the last 15 minutes were so earnest and heartwarming and moving and funny and I shed a tear like what??? It was quite disorienting. I think this special is a perfect example of two paths white male comedians can take -…
Never seen anything quite like it. If this was up for Oscars it could easily win in multiple categories - acting, screen writing, directing, cinematography, editing. A truly impressive project. Damn. Still processing. You should watch.
Not even his best but idc I find this man so damn endearing I’ll eat up anything he does
Oh how I wish that the subject matter of this film felt more distant.
A portrait of heartbreak and resilience anchored by an unbelievable performance from Fernanda Torres. I love how this movie makes viewers invested by taking its time to show us family dynamics in the first act, drawing us into their day-to-day life. With a story that could have so easily been sensationalized, we instead experience every emotion alongside this family through small facial expressions and mundane moments. So quiet yet so powerful.
If E***** P**** win the Foreign Language Film Oscar over this, overhaul the entire Academy.
