Untaken Paths 

We are constantly being pushed to move on from mishaps and negative feelings. What happens if we're not ready to do so?

Sweetheart provides a stark example of self-isolation taken to its extreme.

Movie explained - Despite the glaring flaws present, Young Adult Matters is held together by the performances from Yoo Mi and Hani, who keep the story afloat. Though an interesting story, Young Adult Matters is worth watching solely for these performances. Among its brilliant performances is a messy, self-indulgent, and at times overwhelmingly brutal story with more potential than follow through.

As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch. 

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.

The film is bogged down with one-off rain monster threats that always come to a quick and undramatic end
