Beautiful story
Wish the music wasn’t burger music tho considering it’s the main focal point of the movie given the fact the whole soundtrack is “august’s beats”

Soild movie with some good standout sections that use a lot of emotion. I really like the use of PTSD and agragoraphobia and how it contributes to the camera work and story. Music wasn't insane though which kinda threw off the idea of the movie. But I did really really enjoy the sample of his sister. I thought that motif was used well and brought the ending together nicely but I dont know how to feel about the actual end scene. To me it didnt give a ton of closer and felt was kind of a let down.
