    Grave of the Fireflies

    ★★★★

    Really beautiful, obviously tragic but that’s to be expected. Gorgeous shots and animation and nice score too. 

    Would’ve loved it to be longer. I can appreciate a shorter film and there’s no lack of depth between the siblings relationship but would’ve liked maybe more flashbacks, just felt over too soon idk. 

    High 4.

    Four Weddings and a Funeral

    ★★★½

    Liked parts of this but thought other bits were underdeveloped. Also, ending didn’t feel right at all, for me. 

    Low 3.5

    Absolutely astonishing. 

    Had this on the watchlist for a while and thought why not. Genuinely is one of the most sickening films I’ve ever seen. Completely uncensored, Come and See provides a gut wrenching account of the horrors of war and the hatred that fuels it. However, from a technical perspective it is absolute perfection.

    Floria’s descent into madness is so gripping, my heart dropped further and further in every scene. Crazy that they used a 14 year old novice…

    The Hunt

    ★★★★½

    This is why I love movies. 

    The Hunt is not only heartbreaking but also harrowing. Mads Mikkelsen is absolutely phenomenal, and Lucas’ entire experience feels so real and sickening. I hate the frustration that this brewed in me: completely gripping and felt almost as if you’re swallowed into the losses of Lucas as the story unravels. Seriously impressive navigation of some very sensitive and difficult taboos here, too. Shoutout to Marcus too, what a bloke. 

    So many disturbing but masterfully created…
