Brief Encounter

96/100 Movies like this seem almost cruel. A situation where the warranted final destination feel almost impossible always become a sort of tragedy as it unfolds. Even the idea of falling in love with someone else when you're married and have kids is sort of a nightmare. I'm always a fan of movies that show the slow progression of human connection. Learning all of it through Laura's narration makes it feel more intimate. Even through a small amount of time, it feels like you journeyed with the two. Every moment with them comes across sentimental and most of their actions towards eachother becomes special.
