  Review by demi adejuyigbe 28

  Maybe the first shamelessly-contemporary rom-com I’ve seen so far where the ultra-modern elements didn’t make me wanna gag. Have heard lots of comparisons to Sally Rooney here, but I find this so much more captivating than Normal People, which I haven’t really thought about since watching it. This already hasn’t left my mind in the ten hours since I finished, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it’ll linger for much longer. One of the movies that makes me glad this website exists, because I thoroughly enjoyed it but am desperate to see everyone else make sense of it’s resolution.

  Also, this movie and Suspiria prove it: you can make a movie as long as you want if you give it to me in chapters. It’s like tricking my brain then. “This ain’t a movie, it’s a book. I’m smart for watching this.”

  “It's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart.”

  So much to say and no clue where to begin. Makes me grateful and hopeful and terrified and excited about every decision, every meeting, every kiss that’s turned into a memory that’s turned into the best feeling in the world, however fleeting, even when you know there’s an end and a sadness and a loneliness and a sharp pang of quiet to follow soon after. Is it worth it? Surely it has to be?

  Movies don’t just have to be beautiful mechanical things, pieces of work. It’s a mirror, a vessel, a question, a salve. There’s a beating heart and a breathless smile and tears and tears and tears…

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

  "I grew up in an age without Internet and mobile phones. I sound like an old fart but I think about it a lot. The world that I knew has disappeared. For me it was all about going to stores. Record stores. I'd take the tram to Voices in Grünerløkka, leaf through used comics at Pretty Price. I can close my eyes and and see the aisles at Video Nova in Majorstua.

  I grew up in a time when culture was passed along through objects. They were interesting because we could live among them. We could pick them up. Hold them in our hands. Compare them.

  That's all I have. I spent my life doing that. Collecting all that stuff,…

  starting to think i'm not the only person who can feel the weight of time passing resting on my shoulders every day, it's excruciating and beautiful and turns out some are just better at handling it than others. these days by nico starts playing.

  Review by reibureibu ★★★★½ 76

  We can't help but feel like the worst person in the world. Not to our friends necessarily, or our families for that matter, or even to the one(s) we share a bed with, but to ourselves. Decisions we made that we can't really call 'self-destructive', that's not quite it, but destroys our lives anyways. Destroys what we've built the last few years of our lives, and with no idea of how we'll survive after. Why do we do this to ourselves?

  You're not sure what's wrong, but you know something is wrong. You probably knew it going in, that it wouldn't work out, that it would always end up this way, but it's just what life pushed you towards. Is…
