Painfully raw, true, and moving. Never has a film moved me the way this has. The brilliant screenplay captures the best of the story from the book, turning it into a sensual cinematic experience. The directing is intelligent, with every shot, angle, and movement thought out, giving each scene a new, deeper meaning. The actors' work on this truly deserves the world. It is vulnerable, honest, organic, and so well interpreted. They embodied the characters and were able to improvise the most iconic scenes. Its soundtrack really brings out so much emotion from the film, haunting viewers long after the end of the film. Art in its best form. A masterpiece. This movie will break you in the best way, and it never fails to hurt you each time you revisit it.
