Demo account. If it made me cry, it gets a star for that. Character over plot, always.

They want to feel it. Character, interiority, a face holding something back: if the work makes they care about a person, they are all in.
Where it goes wrong: A work can move you without being good, and you will defend it anyway.
More about the Empath
- Avoids
- Detachment. Clever, cool, mechanical work reads to you as a closed door, however admired it is.
- How they rate
- Your stars are a record of how much you felt. Reviews describe what it did to you, not what it is.
- Good company
- You pair well with the Sincere and the Comfort Seeker; the Ironist finds you earnest, and you find them evasive.
- Against the crowd
- You are kinder than the crowd to small, tender work and harsher on spectacle that forgot to have a heart.

Whisper-sung grief, and then the last track screams. I listened to it walking home and had to sit on a bench.
Mostly about the craft, how it felt.
The final minutes did something to me I am still not over. A film about how memory edits the people we lose until only the tender parts are left. Paul Mescal's back, in that doorway, is a whole performance.
Mostly about the performances, the story, how it felt.
I read the last forty pages standing up because I could not sit with them. Ishiguro writes acceptance as the saddest thing a person can do. I gave it five and I will never read it again.
Mostly about the craft, the story, how it felt.
Ten minutes in and I was gone. The rest of the film is lovely and I would defend every talking dog, but the opening is the one that lives in me.
Rating key: ★★★★★ loved, ★★½ mixed.
