this was such a beautiful film
I love how they showed all the drastically different ways people grieve

The music was so sick there was alottt of good songs in this.
I love all the band shirts too

I'm glad we get to see Hara exploring relationships too, I feel like we rarely see female characters that have emotional depth that are also able to experience romance.

the scene where's she's playing on stage is SO COOL i like how much emotion she shows during that
I like how she kind of plays a more post-hardcore type sound I think that shows her moving on and healing alot because she's being herself now instead of her brother

the ending scene was TEWW CUTEEE I could cry omg her parents dancing with her to the music she likes AWWWWW

tava quase dando 3.5, definitivamente é um filme decente. eu AMEI o camerawork e a história tem pontos interessantes mas em geral, sinceramente não achei nada de mais
