Just watched this movie last night for the first time it was very good some parts were felt a little too long but it was a decent watch reminded me of the movie uncut gems.

Hi! really interesting take. I think it was so hyped for me that I was disappointed. Perhaps if it wasn't I'd have a different view. I appreciate the reality of the movie but also found the second half to be exhausting.

I agree with everything you said. And i like how real the story and the characters felt. the movie didn't even try to imply that Anora and Vanya were in love, or that they had any sort of emotional connection. It was all shallow and materialistic. So We as an audience didn't even care that they didn't actually end up together. Because we didn't expect much from him. He is not portrayed as the bad guy but he is also not the most considerate and thoughtful. I'm just happy that she came out of it mostly unharmed, because as Igor said its a good thing that it ended and that she is not a part of their family.

maybe i'll give it a second watch because i didnt know what to think when i first watched it.

I really enjoyed this movie and found it funny & thought provoking & relatable

Omg this needs to be my next watch

I really liked the movie. Terrific review!

Very well done. Thank you

Brilliant novels and great tv series. Thank you for your recaps and the forum to discuss and analyze "My Brilliant Friend ".

Lila is brilliant, but she is stunted. She only looks out for herself.

To me, Lila and Nino are the same kind of people. Both are takers.

I think that Lenù and Antonio finally coming together is a completion to what they both wanted as teenagers. It was ending that only belonged to them.

I found what the Dr. said about Lila and her delivery very interesting. Even though Lila really wanted this child, she couldn't connect to her. It's telling of Lila's relationships. Personal view, every child birth is different.

I agree, the best show I’ve ever watched.

This is such a powerful movie. Was lucky to have seen it in theatres, sobbed so much. By birth I have ties to Williams Lake First Nations, but was adopted before I was born. So it really hit home. The school was still operational when I was born but shuttered by the time I started going to school. I remember having First Nations children in our public schools. We even visited the reserves and I remember they spoke to how the schools had closed but still many struggled. I feel fortunate that our school visited and learned from their elders even for just a day or two.

I cried watching this

I saw this in October at the new York film festival I thought it was an interesting perspective I loved the book and yea it was respectfully done

I appreciate how thorough and caring you are in each analysis you provide

Thank you again and again Hamza for bringing the darkness to the light- so appreciate you!

Luckily Aes 3 country group is taking back their resources from France ❕💡

I'm Canadian and my parents immigrated to this country. When they first moved here, they were told to "watch out for the natives". I live in the Prairies so the racism against Indigenous people is quite intense here. There are people who actually think Indigenous people have a genetic flaw or are inferior. When people immigrate here, they are taught to fear and loathe Indigenous without learning the history. It's very sickening. Every Indigenous person alive in this country today has a link to the Residential School System and the 60s Scoop. This is recent history. Even more recent is that many Indigenous peoples live on land where there is no clean drinking water because their water sources are diverted to service cities. It's only now through documentaries and activists that people are starting to learn the truth and yet we still have people in this country complaining about how "woke" this information is or angry at Indigenous protests.

Interesting.

I rewatched the 4 seasons with my mom) and i can tell what i think season 4 failed to do. All three seasons the show cared about introduction of all characters. They all seemеd to be very important for the story to go forward. In the last season creators didnt care about neighborhood characters. Everyone has their ending point in the books. In this season they felt like souless pieces of backround. Rino's death felt like nothing. And we saw that boy growing and changing. The creators more cared about Nino than anyone else )

I cannot tell you how many times I've spoken to Canadians online who seem to think that Canada has no history of racism. The patriotic self-delusion is amazing. Thanks for this review.

Great interview!

Thank you for putting this on my radar abayo. As a Canadian I'm sad to say how little I was taught about residential schools throughout my education. The saddest part is this not just about the distant past.

Perfect ending…… kiss 😘

Thank you for the review. The documentary portrays some of our activists working towards that end and there are many others working on the ground despite the obstacles. Regardless of the obstacles and negative narratives, as pro-peace Cypriots, we will continue to side with dialogue, reason and compassion. We need to build a peaceful future for the generations to come and set a positive examples for all those areas hit by conflict.

China's Ethiopian Genocide is Made in Ethiopia. Both Chinese State and Chinese do not see non Chinese as Human beings. Both Chinese State and Chinese see non Chinese as food and raw materials. China has unlawfully harvested millions of body parts including hearts, kidneys and livers from health Ethiopians. China's Human organ harvesting industry is booming in all countries in Africa. China and over 1.45 billion Chinese have unlawfully looted Trillions of US dollars of vast amount of wealth from Africa abd Africans. China's Uyghur Genocide in East Turkestan of Uyghur Nation in Central Asia is going on... china's Tibetan Genocide is going on in Tibet. China's Manchurian Genocide is going on in Manchuria...

The H is silent in Hmong!

"International Law": The most profane and offensive of terms to some people.

I was watching the 4 season one more time, and in this episode, Lila actually tells very clear to Elena what is going on between Alphonso and Michele, making quite clear that Michelle and Alphonso have an affair.

she was never 'in love' she was in stockholm syndrome! typical of being with someone who is an abuser like him. but finally she wakes up!🙌🙌the sad part is for her daughter and her having to stay in contact him, in an attempt for her daughter to have a 'father', if you are with a narcissist they use their victims for an energy source., and you need to get away from them for good, but at least she wakes up!

I have never cried so much than I did with this episode. Those two dolls were so symbolic of their friendship!

Perry watched a Perfect Murder and Get Out before “writing” this masterpiece.

Thank you. Sharing.

Thank you! Sharing.

It has been over 10 years since since I saw this film but I remember every details of the film that you described and analyzed. I enjoyed your review as much as I enjoyed the film itself. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work.

Hope this film will make history when it become the first Thai film ever to be nominated for an Oscar

I agree! that was so sad when Elena was all alone, but one thing that bothered me though-out this season is Elena does not visit her family, she didn't go check on how her mom and dad are doing after the earthquake, to see if they are ok, especially now that she lives back home and is so close by. Even though Elena did not enjoy where she grew up and the times, her parents really are endearing, and how they show their love in different ways, doing their best, her dad has always been so kind to her, despite the times they live in. I guess it is par for the course, being as obsessive as she is w Nino, but still..

i am from India mam i dont think lost ladies deserve this my fame overrated af

Nino is a narcissist, and Elena is completely brainwashed by him, I do not think she would have left her children otherwise. (Not to make excuses for her). I have been in one of these 'relationships' and the effects of that type of manipulation is portrayed in so many ways with the decisions she makes, her actions and her behaviour. (Just get away from him girl!😩) I agree with you that maybe Elena (and Nino) do not like themselves, have low self-esteem, as a reflection of how others judge where they come from. I feel like Elena is first groomed by Nino's father and she falls back into that pattern with Nino, bc she has always dreamed of him loving her, but he cannot love anyone, not even himself bc he grew with up the father (and the times, patriarchal society) he did. Thanks for the review!

hey, great review, thanks!

This movie was amazing ❤ rewatching ❤
