    fernanda torres you ripped my heart out, you wonder! 

    despondency bleeds slowly through this visually breathtaking film - I was worried it would lose it’s punch wth the flash forwards but WOW no, the last scene with the tv was a sucker punch. 

    have mention to Eunice in the ‘pimpão in the road’ scene which I felt in my bones; eunice’s interaction with the guard as she left also so interesting. also water ! swimming ! traditions and tenderness. 

    go and see this film!! bring a glass of scotch with ice, a cigarette and tissues.

    to compare it to zone of interest would do both a disservice but safe to say, both sound designers have a way of chilling you to the bone. 

    astounding and I don’t know if I could watch it again

    paul mescal and andrew scott in a SOUTH LDN SUBURB???? crazy

    havents sobbed to a movie so hard (parent diner scene esp!!!) in a long long while

    though (spoiler) i really didn't like the ending w paul's character having died, i think it took away from the gravity of his parent storyline, made the end depressing, not hopeful and was a bit 'it was all a dream' - and not in a way that was as meaningful as with his…
