'Killers of the Flower Moon'(2023): A Beautiful Tragedy
This captivating film can only be truly appreciated by seeing it firsthand. There are not enough words to describe the terrible beauty one experiences while watching it.

A late-night radio talk show host decides he is tired of telling stories and interviewing people. He opens the phone lines up and hears the stories straight from the residents of Marshalltown.

What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.
Of the 28 total films I watched, just six of them were queer or featured queer characters in some way.
This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.
