I went into this film entirely blind having heard nothing about it and I loved it. I felt so moved by it in a way I haven’t by a film in a while. So subtle but somehow very tactile in its depiction of isolation and depression. Daisy Ridley is perfect in it.

SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT DYING
it is quite a new film but i think its so underrated and its so good and just so real. and personally i relate heavily and can see myself in the exact same situations that the protagonist (Fran played by Daisy Ridley btw :3) finds herself in.
also i think it is miles better than the short film

I’m always keeping my thoughts on the few films I choose to write about solely within the pages of my notes up, so I figured what the heck! Maybe someone out there might like the two cents I want to spend on talking about a film that moved me :] Spoilers, ofc!!!
(2/2/25) Absolutely beautiful film. Watched it with katlafo, and we were both sobbing messes by the end. Throughout the beginning, I spent so much time trying to analyze the film, thinking I HAD to figure out the underlying message of a film I’d heard so much about before I’d even truly experienced it for myself. Man.
The scene where Greg shows Rachel her film was so beautiful. Again, I tried to pin point what it all meant in the moment—the constant cuts to Greg and Rachel’s pained expressions, the long shots of seemingly symbolic stop-motion—but I realized that that was exactly what was keeping me from what I longed for. So I sat there, and felt. And cried, and cried.
Later, the scene where Greg chooses to go to Rachel’s room, allowing himself to simply exist in the silence, taking in the remnants of her life, it was all so beautiful; the tears just wouldn’t stop, haha.
While I didn’t leave this film with some life changing message I was subconsciously searching for, I feel this movie reminds me to love myself the way I do others; and to do things because they matter to ME, because I care about them.
While I want to say I’ll never trust anything that tells me someone or something won’t die at the end, I know that’s not true.

what’s this tender, soft, beautifully color graded dream? I haven’t felt such tenderness in so long and I’ve hardly ever seen something as romantic as this. this movie was so ahead of its time: letting go of love and finding someone new is so terrifying and looking for it in AI is something that is getting realer by the day. it’s scary, dystopian, unethical. why did this movie made me not feel any of this? maybe I loved the relationship between Theodore and Samantha because it felt so incredibly human. I resonate with his loneliness, his desires and fears so I think that’s also why I never thought of him as “weird”, sympathy and empathy can really make you understand anything.
PS: my love for Joaquin Phoenix seems to be growing by the day

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
