Flicker
Memoir of a snail completely broke my heart. I’m giving it 5 stars, obviously. I’m still sitting here, eyes full of
tears, heart in my throat. Everything about this film is perfect — every frame, every detail, every little movement. The stop-motion, oh my god, it reminded me so much of
My Life as a Zucchini, which I adore.
Those 15–20 minutes… I was destroyed. Absolutely destroyed. The loneliness
Grace feels, it hits me so hard. And the way she locks herself into her passion for snails,
her little world to not feel completely alone… I swear, it reminded me of myself, what I do, what I still do. Finding your refuge in things that might seem small, silly, fleeting… but that hold you together anyway.
Every single tear I shed during this movie, every gasp, every silence… it was worth it. Wow. Just wow.
And btw fuck
