    ★★★★

    I was hooked from the beginning to the end. A well-made film that deserves way more praise and attention than what it's getting.

    Movies handling multiple protagonists are usually all over the place but here, everyone's a a hero in this one. The direction is crisp, the music elevates the setting and the acting is top-notch. The comedy is also good.

    Would love to see more Tulu movies like this getting appreciation they deserve

    A beautiful and simple film that tugged at my heart strings. So much innocence in every frame. I loved the honesty with which this was shot.

    Yeah I don't have words of my own but to quote from 'Help' by Papa Roach:

    Did someone turn the lights out
    Or is it just another dark cloud in my head?
    Cause I'm cut deep, my heart won't beat
    Deep down low it's killing me
    If I wanna scratch out yesterday
    I've got so much I need to say

    Three Colours: Blue

    ★★★½

    Exceptionally well made movie that made me think of all sorts of blue in the visible spectrum of light. I already do associate a lot of colours with emotions, but to feel so vividly about just blue- from a bright ultramarine blue that makes you feel like the world is an insensitive blue to a deep calming blue that can liberate not just your desires, but your grief too

    Krzysztof Kieślowski's direction is brilliant and Juliette Binoche is like an empty canvas that absorbs the movie's essence and throws it at you to assimilate everything it has to present.
