    Kafka would have loved you…
    …Watching this whilst finishing my final year at uni was really fun and didn’t freak me out at all…

    Love Andrea Arnold… and rly liked this. Although some parts felt a little odd, the more I’ve thought about it the more I’ve warmed to it and feel I can understand Arnold’s vision. I think some of the ambiguity of the storyline can be justified by the fact that we are witnessing these events through a child’s perspective and imagination…It’s brutal whilst also preserving a tenderness and I agree with others that the magical realism is very Miyazaki-esque, which is what I loved…!

    Watching it twice in the same week has solidified how special this film truly is. I haven't been so touched by something like this in a bit. I was really moved by the performances and felt a lot of empathy for both characters. Jesse Eisenberg’s script is fantastic, very funny and heartbreaking all at once. It’s a simple and yet nuanced look into grief and inter-generational trauma, it’s not about pain it is pain
