Just a hunch, but I think I got a gigantic hole in my brain. I hope a beautiful little tree would grow out of it sometime down the line.

Monster 2023
Finally. A Kore-eda film that I can wholeheartedly say I like without needing to stop and think on it. I didn't even intend on seeing this.

The visible enjoyment the people in this film had making this sort of passed on to me, and I ended up enjoying their film in turn.
Anyway, as a non-American, I'm pretty sure those attempted Southern accents are atrocious lol.

Of personal note was a succession of…
