there's no other film that captures with such brutal perfection what it is to be alive at this point in history. the complete and utter hopelessness of certain yet preventable doom; the spiritual and moral despair over what can be done; and the necessity of reaching outward despite that.

made my heart feel full! also made me want to smoke cigarettes. renata reinsve and anders danielsen lie both give stunning, vulnerable performances. it's moving, but it's also irreverant and sharp. watching this made me feel how reading sally rooney does.

suffers from being the third in the trilogy - the story needs an ending, and that gets in the way a bit. the characterization we do get is worthwhile, though. fujiko is a mess of contradictions, ultimately underexplored but still integral. and as with the other two, it looks absolutely bangin.
