Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
so funny, deep, and relatable. i think this is one of the best post-breakup movies.
Someone Great
this is what got me into dystopian as a genre and i'm forever thankful. this is my favorite series and the movies did a beautiful job.
The Hunger Games
this is a sad one. it is so deep and emotional, but may be triggering for some people. i thought that the representation of depression and anxiety was accurate and touching as someone who has dealt with those things.
Manchester by the Sea
the acting in this movie is top notch and so touching. it really shows the struggles of addiction on everyone involved.
