"She was sixteen, it was her time." This is one of the movies that at first, feels boring, i literally almost fell asleep. but as it goes on, i realised that the boredom is intentional because i truly felt like i was experiencing Mia's everyday life: her loneliness, her boredom, her restlessness, and that feeling of wanting to escape a place...having a dream without knowing what is it or how to reach it. it's touching in such a real devastating and quiet way. and for me i know a movie has truly affected me when i find myself feeling deeply empathetic towards its characters. throughout the whole movie, especially by the end... all i wanted is to hug Mia. I think I'm slowly falling in love with how Andrea Arnold tells stories, i've watched American honey before,and there's just something incredibly raw and beautiful about her characters and the people she choses to follow that feeling.

"Grief is love's unwillingness to let go." I genuinely don't know how to review this documentary. for someone who has experienced a violent loss of a loved one myself. the hope, fear, grief, love, rage, devastation, all those emotions in the film felt painfully familiar. the helplessness of watching the system fail to protect others. i kept pausing it to cry everytime someone shared a memory. it was nice..getting to know Andrew as a person, i think they did a great job trying to preserve someone they loved. it's a normal reaction finishing this film feeling so angry and exhausted, it will stay with me for a long time

"I never thought it would end like this" "Who knows how anything is going to end? " You can't love someone into loving you back, that applies not only romantically. well made!

"You're here, you're not in there, you're with me." What if the thing we're most afraid of isn't death, but never being truly known before we die? it's the human wish to be able to say "i was here, did anyone notice me?" and to hear someone answer " yes, i remember you." Absolutely shattered me.
