AFI 2020: film #5

"today is not a good day”

one of the most devastating parts of life is not being able to get back to a happiness you once had, especially if it involves people you love. feeling that joy slipping through your fingers, time cannot rewind and only moves forward, and without your consent. relentlessly, painfully. adapt or die. this is a crushing look at that fight against time and change, but it's also hopeful, and eventually peaceful. the sound design was incredible and the hardcoded subtitles were such a smart move. one of the most essential and fitting movies of 2020

if i could go back in time and tell my younger self that one day i’d be watching something like this with my dad while we made a holiday dinner... i wouldn’t have believed it
