  The Best Years of Our Lives 1946

  ★★★★½ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  3 hours breezes by and it’s amazing that this came out only a year after the war ended and yet there’s tons of nuanced social commentary about a veteran’s return home. A really beautiful film and I understand why it’s highly praised! Every scene feels essential.

  ★★½ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  Unsettling from start to finish. I understand the themes of Kinds of Kindness but it never really clicks for me.
