    "look at your mother, you'll have to remember her"

    i read the book in 3 days and finished it 5 days ago. it became my favorite play.
    i started this film knowing i would love it and this thought confirmed itself with the opening sequence which might have just become my favorite of all time (bonus for radiohead)
    however there are a few impactful and necessary scenes in the book that were not portrayed in the movie. And i feel like they would have made the adapted version perfectly perfect.
    nevertheless i am absolutely mesmerized by this work of art

    i am sitting in the train sobbing

    the music was divine, the hospital scene, god i am speechless.
    the shots, THE IMAGE was enchanting, i can not think of a single scene that did not seduce me
    the plot, it was so stunningly written. "I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out in life. I'd like to think that it wasn't weakness or evasion. But a final act of kindness"
    the bathtub shot was not the one…
