Euphoria: All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name (2022)
Loss & brutal honesty
So for me, the red line is the loss and grieving stages mainly of Rue of her dad. His red hoodie that she keeps wearing throughout beginning till end. Not losing it "until the day she closes her eyes." Although she might after her Lexi talk: not wanted to carry it with her anymore.
Haven't seen a serie catching the thoughts, monologue, dialogue, scenes, feelings and struggle of losing a close person(specifically a loved dad) so on point. Her words, letter at the end, her end talk with lexi. So brutally honest. I've lost my dad at 39 and exactly felt this. So in a way this series felt like therapy to me. Episode 5 with Rue completely losing it, sooooo well done.
But also all the characters dealing with change, life, love/loss and everything that comes with it. Also as a creative/make up artist, loved the artistry, looks and set decor. This show in 3 words: I felt it.
Language Lessons (2021)
Que bien, really loved this movie (spoilers)
Saw this on the plane just now so lovely. I've been learning Spanish myself and even picked up my phrases again by this. Laughed hard about the subtle jokes (embarazada!). Felt the emotional caring that started quite quickly to grow between two strangers. The understanding of gravity losing someone and how to touch on it or help the other by "just being there" and letting one know (I'm here). Having something to look forward to (the zooms) each day as you get by and deal with grief while being a human who also needs other things to talk about. Do or think about than grieving (playing instruments, sing, be crazy, let go). I recognised the actor later on from the Morning show. Loved the house by the way, felt calming and loved the idea of her staying there together. Wish they made a follow up movie of that part, but always also best not to touch it and let the imagination run. Would she recover, would she not?
