    ★★★★

    This film is about who wants to help and who wants to be perceived as helping, who wants to trust and care for other people and who actually does. It's about the relationship between those with power and affluence those without, and explores the imbalance of seeking dignity vs a clear conscience.

    This dude's insular/elite personal and professional life completely comes apart when he applies a blanket of guilt to an entire building of people, while simultaneously trying to get an art installation off the ground about trust, care and rights.

    Still Walking

    ★★★★

    This movie is about familial loss but also growth, grief, expectations (of ourselves and others, held by ourselves and others), and how family lives on within us. There is sacrifice and coping with the unfair cruelty of life, along with unkept promises and yellow butterfly survivors.

    Amour

    ★★★★½

    Navigating love, commitment and trying to do the right thing when one can not tell if it's flowers or stars - and there's also the pigeon.

    At a seaside cottage, things get real blurry for these two (one?) women.
