i kind of skipped around to remind myself of all the scenes and i don't really remember feeling bored or uninterested throughout it, maybe the one early scene where they're talking on the bed. there's also that one car ride scene whre the radio is on and the lyrics to the song that's playing is "ehhh" but i liked the vast majority of it. like i said earlier, i was into it 10 minutes in when you see her face and all the possible mental pathways that suddenly revealed themselves. like, it was kind of relateable to when i heard some news and i start thinking about like one hundred different things and possible consequences and just can't run from my thoughts. and in her case, it's just so much heavier because of all the time that's gone into it.
i also really liked that it's about an older couple. like obviously that's the premise and aside from the fact that fewer films focus on older people, i appreciated seeing the parts of their lives that they're used to. and then they start talking about how they barely have any pictures and only their memories; try to have a similar moment as in their youths with the dance and the sex but it's bittersweet because of the inescapable reminder of the physical issues old age comes with. and you know, it's obviously not an unexplored theme but it's one that gets me every time because whenever i look in the mirror it's like "when the fuck did i get so old." But she thought she was comfortable with who she was and knew what their relationship was and all the mundanities, had made peace with it. i'm rambling but fuck man. heavy shit.
