J’ai pleuré quand j’ai compris le sens caché du film.
MY FAVORITE MOVIE
Heartbreaking movie. If you want to feel like your heart is being taken out of your chest then watch it IMMEDIATELY. I cry easily, I have to admit, but this movie not only made me cry, it also made me question myself on so many different aspects of Life. There’s very few movies that I consider life changing but i definitely count this one in. I do not want to spoil anything so i am just going to say that if you are like me, doubting about you life choices, about who you are now and who you’d like to be and just basically in a weird place with yourself then this movie could help you find your way. (It deals with mental illness and s.a so if you are sensitive about those subject please be careful)
