      I haven't seen such a masterpiece for a long time, and I feel a little joy in my heart...

      she is a passing in the strange city.

      No money, broken car, lost dog.

      I have nothing to rely on. When I called home, my sister just said, we have no money, how can we help you?

      When a person loses material and spiritual sustenance, the latter is what he wants most.

      So WENDY went to her LUCY. Drag a tired body and post inspiration on the street.

      When she finally found out LUCY's whereabouts and went to see her, LUCY was already living in a good...

      that sing-along

      After watching the whole film, I realized that there is no background music at all, and the heroine always hums this tune whenever she walks.
          The way of shooting is very realistic, and the lens is completely without any modification, so the film is also very exciting. A girl under the age of 20, perhaps under the pressure of her family, has to go on the road alone to find a way out in faraway places. It can be seen from the phone calls she made that family love is cruel to him. Along...

      Lonely at last

      If it were me, I would definitely not be able to embark on the journey alone and endure this loneliness alone. The girl faced everything with courage for the only partner in her life. When Wendy and Lucy are together, Wendy is not alone, and her loneliness is just the lack of connection with people relative to other people, but in my opinion, as long as there is a fulcrum in life, is it with people or with people What's the deal with the dog. But the various encounters in life make the girl...

      GOOD NEWS

      A heart-wrenching movie

      I always tell my friends that
      the world shouldn't be like this
      , but it's just like that

      . A friend who likes to watch light-hearted romance films comes to torture the movie and
      asks me how it goes.
      I say it's good
      , but you won't like
      it, no ? Everyone can bear the feeling of a road movie.
      I still remember watching Texas in high school,
      but it was very boring and depressing.

      Desolate
      is Zhang...

      After watching Kelly Reichardt's two films in a row, I found her to be a good director, with a remarkable style, emotional restraint, and the camera is calm and just right. In this film, she shows a short "life as it is", from which the audience can glimpse the past and future of the...

      It's a casual look, but it deserves five stars. Sometimes life is really hard. You have the courage to do shocking things, but in the end you still have to blend in, because you are a social person and have some commonalities among human beings. It's too painful to meet a madman running and crying, and I carry it alone. There is no other way. Such a sustenance, anxious and flustered for her, walking back and forth. Give up and fulfill and endure. Too serious, you can only compromise when you...
