Fresh Kills

The sister dynamic in this is so raw and real, where one is constantly trying to respect their family name despite the harsh truth of what they do, while the other sees past the cover and notices how it ruins every aspect of her life. They never really had the choice of becoming what they wanted to, their roles in life were decided by their father the second he decided to take on the mob life. And the end yo. I was bawling when Odessa died, like cut the cameras bawling because of how accurately it depicted sister bonds. When she laid next to her sister, bleeding out, just hoping that it wasn’t real. AND HER CHOOSING TO BREAK THE CYCLE with the mom awake in her room, understanding that she was doing exactly what needed to be done. And the aunt letting her know that she was seen, more so, that her differences were seen. They very ones that separated her from the rest of the family, weren’t ones to be looked down on, but instead admired. So many “ands” ik ik, this movie is something else, truly.
