Ritual

based on the description, i didn’t think i’d resonate as heavily as i did with this film.  you get so used to the loneliness that you question whether someone genuinely wants to be with you, and even more importantly, stay. when your life is so quiet you inevitably go days without talking to anyone. “at least once a day you get to talk to someone else.” “he hates me, i’ll be left alone again, abused and then abandoned” “what about when i was alone?” i’ve said and done a lot of the same things in this film than i’d like to admit. i have a similar mentality, experienced (and still experiencing) similar relationships, and lifestyle. i wanted to watch a movie to distract myself from my reality (ironically) but ended up having to face it.
