    Watched on a date. I’m slowly forcing him to watch my favourite films from the past decade. I started with Challengers, then this. I gotta switch it up and make him sit through Titane next.

    Last film of the year. Glad I ended it on a high note. Hamaguchi tells a somber and meditative story that centres community and critiques violations of nature. Even though it isn’t my favourite of his films, I love the bold choices he makes. His direction and point of view continues to evolve in beautiful ways. The ending loses me a bit, but it stuck with me all week.

    What an excellent film my god.

    Going into this, I was scared to see how it was going to match the first film, and how it was going to handle Chadwick’s tragic passing. Ryan Coogler handles both perfectly.

    The themes of grief and loss and the ways it changes you are so poignant and profound. We’ve explored this topic in the MCU before in WandaVision, but this movie has a refreshing take on it by depicting how it changes you…
