Whakamoemoeā
Very direct and didactic (though not necessarily in a bad way), which is not what I've come to expect from Thompson's moving-image work. Which in turn makes me think there is more going on under the surface here.

Our Love Story 2016
The struggle to place the shared experience of a queer life (together) between the spaces of a heteronormative routine. Its ending lies somewhere beyond hope or despair—it felt like I was seeing them slide into an acceptance of this asynchronous love, fractured by time and circumstance, and mended in equal capacity by the wordlessness of physical contact. On the one hand, an unsparing depiction of the day-to-day oppression that threatens to tear queer love apart, perhaps without end, and on the other hand, the affirmation that even despite this, queer love can and will persist.
For how minimalist it is, this movie packs a huge punch.
