Sentimental Value
beautiful drama, the thing i loved most wasn’t the phenomenal acting or the plot, it was how real all of it felt. think about the other nominees that are dramas, train dreams is a period piece and even though there’s themes of loss which everyone can relate to, hamnet is very unrealistic because not everyone’s dad is will shakespeare, but this, the messages, the characters, the issues, everything, it felt like it could happen easily. i loved this film.
