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

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.
