I bought a ticket on a whim this evening. Horrifying, beautiful, arresting, gut-wrenching, electric. It’s not perfect but I have not had a viewing experience like that in I don’t even know how long—I was riveted and emotionally invested. It uses real protest footage from the Women, Life, Freedom revolt in Iran and the movie was filmed in secret; just days after he was finished shooting, the director Mohammad Rasoulof was sentenced to eight years in prison and flogging for his previous activism and filmmaking by the Iranian Revolutionary Court and fled to Europe. This is essential viewing and if it’s still playing in a theater near you RUN to go see it and show your support for the immensely courageous and talented people who made this film

📽Just another person telling you to go watch this film. I finally saw it a week ago and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. It’s an incredibly beautiful and visceral film from top to bottom.

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
