thoroughly enjoyed, i always love a very tall sad man dressed in black. i was missing some more story from the girl. it was sweet and cute and i liked it just didn't get me to love it in the moments i felt like it should have.

A Light That Never Goes Out
i'm also in my twenties, and i have no idea what the fuck i’m doing, so i really resonated with the vibes of not understanding your place in life and trying to figure everything out. That sense of being overwhelmed was captured very well through Pauli’s anxiety. What worked especially well, in my opinion, was the genuine chemistry and balance between the protagonists, as they helped each other navigate the struggles that came their way. It’s pretty rare to see something so pure and gentle, yet at the same time so devastating and melancholic. Now I kind of want to make experimental shit with my friends and follow the flow
