Dorsi

While this is an ode to the empathy and joy that women bring to a systematically dehumanizing world to make it bearable, it doesn't pretend like moments of kindness and fun arrange equal structure, neither for your brain, nor social safety nets. The grueling mundaneness of everyday life is too high a bar to clear alone, when your own patterns and brain chemistry work against you. Loved the score and central performance, especially loved the cinematography and empathy for unsympathetic choices. 4 hour cut of the karaoke night out, please.

While the ending finally gets to be the awkward fever dream you are waiting for the entire movie, the rest of it felt pretty uneven and at times overblown. Too many questions were left unanswered for me about *Emma* and I am just too obsessed with *Alana Haim* to ever get a full grasp on how I actually felt. As others have said, the dynamics would be wholly different if genders were switched towards our expectation, and I don't know if the movie is better for it. Anyways, loved the side characters, the child they cast as tiny *Zendaya* was ten times more believable in the role than herself, but I did buy the love between the two and that they absolutely belong together.

What the hell, are they turning blockbusters into souls games now!?

Genuinely, that goodbye to the two astronauts and the Sandra Hüller scene moved me the most. Humans can be so cute.
