gorgeous, powerful, cathartic, romantic, enthralling, brilliant, otherworldly. a quiet and beautiful storm that rages on while the rest of the world will most likely have it’s eyes fixated on other films, not needing anyone’s attention or love or approval. the most profound superhero portrayed on film since donnie darko

"Nada acontecia desde que era pequena e encontrou Deus"
A fé enquanto prisão e redenção, as imagens em prol das sensações e o extraordinário em crise. Tenta fazer o Shyamalan direitinho, ao mesmo tempo em que consegue redesenhar muita coisa.

The ballet scene is p h e n o m e n a l.

Everything else is really really solid. I definitely recommend this one.
