    ★★★★

    This film could be an alternative video clip of Childish Gambino’s «This is America». Colourful like Disneyland, but class divided like the American dream. 
    An emotional rotation between carefreeness, recklessness, struggle and precariousness. A beautiful movie where everything happens genuinely capturing the contrast between childhood innocence and the harsh reality of poverty. 
    Brooklynn Prince is a brilliant pure talent and W.Dafoe an adorable man. 
    This movie looks like a delicious candy that gradually rotting your teeth.

    Ending scene includes everything this movie is about. Additionally, this is like an indirect biography. Maybe not about him specifically, but a bio/tribute to all women who defined him and inspired him. And he’s doing that with reality, truth, pain, compassion and solidarity. 
    More than a narrative to him. 
    There is no Pantone red to me anymore. There is only Almodovar’s red hue!

    I have a strong feeling that due to inexperience and the young of his age, he’s aiming to show off his direction skills (sometimes cutting down scenes will make your movie more efficient and intense). 
    Regarding that I also think that he’s focusing more on…
