    comedy movies still give me so much anxiety but this one also had me laughing out loud throughout. keke palmer and sza are charisma squared who wouldn’t fall in love

    beautiful, confusing and tiptoes around zionism? just a weird time to release this particular film & hard to separate it from the world as it stands and the lines mentioning zionism directly. polarizing for me because the beautiful moments (& first half) truly were touching (& lasting) but then certain creative choices reframe the story especially towards the end :/ especially in the way people may be perceiving those choices.

    scooped out my heart and scraped up the edges. beautiful like a poem. lingering. 


    at least one image will stay with you. there are so many & they are all intelligent. even if the artistic conceit takes its time, it rewards your patience and engagement. realizing retrospectively when&why the shift happens (to the back of the head) breaks my heart. loved it differently than sing sing but i am so glad to have watched both. like an outward sob versus a consistent ache.
