Itās a period of sudden painful goodbyes for me right now and a period of unexpected hello-agains, and Iāve discovered so many new ways to cry in the past couple of weeks, different shades and timbres and tempos of tears. I thought that this movie would destroy me and that I would have mascara and eyeliner running down my face, but it was actually too beautiful and uplifting for me to do that. It really resonated with me and where I am in life right now in some key ways and Iām happy that I went to see it in the theater today. Gorgeous gorgeous story of resilience and joy in the face of adversity and turmoil.

šIām 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!!!
Ā (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 Iād heard so much about before Iād 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 momentāthe constant cuts to Greg and Rachelās pained expressions, the long shots of seemingly symbolic stop-motionābut 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 Rachelās room, allowing himself to simply exist in the silence, taking in the remnants of her life, it was all so beautiful; the tears just wouldnāt stop, haha.
While I didnāt 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 Iāll never trust anything that tells me someone or something wonāt die at the end, I know thatās not true.

šDevastating. absolute gut punch. one of those where you become so immersed in the actor that you forget youāre watching a performance. Cannot stop thinking about this story and the quiet and absolute strength and perseverance of Eunice.

This movie was by no means perfect, but it wasnāt trying to be. It was what it was and knew that just that is enough. Itās been a week since I saw this and am realizing it really hit me hard. Iāve somehow never experienced something so hopeful and buoyant yet devastating and having a way of making me feel so damn insignificant in this universe.
ā¦ I donāt know. Maybe I read into it a bit much.

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 somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas 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 š
