What a sweet little film.

Gets you thinking a lot about grief, our chosen family, broken homes, childhood. Made me miss being a kid in a lot of ways, but happy to be an adult in others.

The little girl actress is fantastic, but so is everyone. I want the old couple to be my parents, really. It seemed like such a warm place to be, and watching this was like thinking about a good memory you have from your childhood. Most of the movie is in the Irish language and that was a trip. A RARE language, sounds very nordic. Or how I imagine english sounds like to people who can't understand it.

The movie looks gorgeous too, love how it's framed and everything looks silky smooth. It feels like they shot on film, even if they didn't.

It's pretty predictable, I don't know if there's anything new necessarily here. It's well made, but you knew where it was going early on. Nothing groundbreaking or anything, but still a very sweet movie that hits everything it needs to well. My mom would love this.

Not gonna lie and say it didn't break my heart. I cried. And it felt good.
