A Hidden Life 2019
Really heavy. I knew the ending but I still found myself wondering, doubting and pleading at every opportunity. Perhaps that is the journey of faith after all- to grasp a conviction obstinately beyond logic, or else everything is meaningless and God never existed and all our prior convictions would have been nothing more than flimsy inclinations prompted by our own imaginations. For a true person of faith, hopelessness (faithlessness) would be a worse fate to suffer than death.

Aftersun 2022
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
made me remember why I love 90-minute films. has those nice drawn-out dialogues and shots that make u feel immersed in the world of the movie. holidays usually feel like this: small and intimate and somewhat repetitive as opposed to the adventurous feeling you get in travel advertisements. in the end you remember the people you spent it with more than the places you went to visit, and you remember little things like people parasailing overhead and all the times you swam in the pool. idk, this hit hard for me, okay. and it’s heartbreaking bc it’s about the last memory she has of her dad.

Yi Yi 2000
I’m grateful for Edward Yang. The first and second generations of my family to settle in my home country speak their native dialects to each other. I’m 3rd gen, and grew up watching my uncles, aunts and parents speaking in dialect to one another, but they’d use a little Mandarin and mostly English with me. I know I’ll never be able to write characters who fully speak all three languages because I don’t, and it’s a little hard to swallow…
