Letterboxd — Your life in film

Why DIY is its own art. Both gracefully raw and strikingly formalistic, like Millie dancing between the two ends.

A profoundly of-the-moment documentary masterpiece.

For the Chinatown communities—their residents, merchants, patrons, friends and family—Karen Cho's BIG FIGHT IN LITTLE CHINATOWN is an experience in collective empowerment, healing, and resilience, as well as a bridge-strengthener with the communities’ allies.

The transcendental feeling I've sought and want to give.

UPD: This film has really helped me reflect on what it means to cherish/find happiness with who & what we do have....amongst what matters most, especially these days and as we get older.

THIS is what coming of age can be. Heck, this is what Art can be for a better world. Just, wow: beautiful, compassionate, deeply empathetic, absurdly fun and funny. You gotta be bone-headedly plain-ass sad-cynical-asinine to not relate or/and connect to any which one of these wholesome lovable characters and themes. Take it from a hero-nihilist—I genuinely recommend you take time to see Turning Red. The most heartfelt and exciting Asian-Canadian representation I've seen in film and simultaneously it couldn't be more universal with its heart and ways to get us caring more for one another. Bravo bravo bravo.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I've been alive on this plane past a quarter-century. That was one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed. Top 13 at least.
