Better with every watch.
19 June 2021
I love this movie more every time. This time (4th watch in 5 years) it got me crying early on and I didn't stop ugly-crying until after the credits. It's the relationship you wish you had with complicated family. Messy, but everyone gives each other space and acceptance to be (and find out, while kind of fumbling around) who they are.

This has unexpectedly stolen a place among my favourite films of all time.

Though I do wonder how relatable a family is when they have the means to order a black-car service, and have princess cuts and Porches. But happy to ignore in this instance.

Love. Love. Love.

Pure Buffyverse bliss
26 February 2020
This episode is strongly tied with 5x16 "The Body" as my favorite episode of the series and top ten 10 TV episodes of all time.

I cry every time. Re-watching 20 years after seeing it for the first time, I love it even more.

To care for these characters is to love them. And here we get a glimpse into the subconscious in all its glory. We see their unfiltered motivations, doubts and fears, and get a flavor of what binds the group together after years of growing together.

Joss Whedon's ability to capture emotion while staying true to the subversive humor of the Buffyverse is absolutely mesmerizing. A masterpiece. And the music is absolutely gorgeous to boot.
