    Amazing film, an entire film shot from characters POVs sounds very risky but it's done so well. It felt important to tell this story from the kids' direct perspective too, particularly when you deep what these kids went through at this reform school during the Jim Crow era. Some scenes didn't even require dialogue, yet they explained so much.
    "This isn't the fight" such a simple line but with so much weight, what a scene!

    I'm so annoyed I didn't get to watch this on the big screen (f**k u Bezos)

    Amazing opening scene with that score, enjoyed the first half mainly as it was focusing on the immigrant experience post WW2, but after that intermission, it turned slightly pretentious with too many unnecessary subplots. That runtime had me fighting demons too. Just go watch Kogonada's Columbus for some good architecture in cinema representation.

    Mikey Madison had a good performance, but after that first act, it kinda turned into the longest GTA cutscene. Appreciated the comedy, it had funny moments, but the film shifted into a different direction than I expected. It was so disjointed and way more chaotic shenanigans than I would've liked.

    Florence Pugh's sad face will never not make me emotional! Also, those two shopkeepers were the real MVPs in that crisis!
