Lilya 4-ever

Yeah, it's really good in heaven. But I regret it, 'cause I wanted to live on earth a little longer. You remain dead for all eternity, but you're alive only for a brief moment. This movie drained me completely. I felt like a husk of the person I once was afterwards. I used my weekly allowance of emotions all in 100 minutes. I've not watched a single movie that's this unflinchingly depressing. Yet it's not over exaggerated whatsoever, it's actually the most realistic movie I think I've ever seen. Seeing Lilja live like that, and go through that much suffering, has given me a profound sense of gratitude. I don't think I'll ever look at my life in the same lense again. I'll never take anything for granted anymore, I am beyond lucky, and I deeply appreciate this movie for showing me that. 97/100
