“It was torture. For five minutes I realised what life would be like if I were, in any way, interesting. If I had anything to say for myself, if I did anything. But I didn’t do anything. And in about thirty seconds she’d know and she’d be gone like a shot”
I really do like this movie a lot. There’s so much I relate to in it. Trying to live your life as an island, being a blank, having a life without any real worth or meaning… not actually finding that as super depressing as it may sound despite the awareness that there may be more. I dunno. There’s a good combination of empathy and damning judgement in it for me. Which is obviously what everyone looks for in a movie, right? Right?
Grade: ****
