So well made. A glowing, promising and sad lovestory told with tender compassion.

Let’s aim for 196 countries to accept same-sex-marriages instead of now only 38.

Such a beautiful movie. The little I-Jing moved me to my core with her silent battles against her grandfather and the devil who possessed her arm, and for her mother who was in financial trouble.

This movie is exactly why I have an unlimited cinema pass.

Renate Reinsve is phenomenal. Stellan Skarsgårds subtle facial expressions are a ‘show don’t tell’ masterclass. Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas glues it all together.

Joachim Trier delivered a masterpiece.

Yeah. Right. The Beatles part was supposed to be funny, but I didn’t laugh.

I just realized I watched this movie before without rating it. What a shame. This is a solid 4.5 for me.

The struggle is real, and I believe every second of it. The score is phenomenal. The Radha rhymes are hitting hard.

Rewatch material for sure.

And a great and very intense movie by the Iranian director Jafar Panahi.

I love the camera work mirroring Grace’s mood. Excellent movie.
