for guarg

personal favourite, 1000000/10 recommend, can see why it won the palm d'or

for guarg when she wants a movie with strong themes on family and relationships, or when she might wanna cry a little and think deeply about what it means to be a family 

warning: its slower than your ave hollywood movie but it will stay with you for a long time

masterpiece? based on the novel confessions by kanae minato which is also amazing

idk if guarg has watched bc in hs, i made all my friends watch this

for guarg when she wants to watch a dark, well thought out movie with a satisfying but also open ending?

warning: also slow, which is like most of these well received japanese movies

acting 100% esp the ending gave me chills

for guarg when she wants a movie that slowly unravels, revealing a super dark secret and culminating to a big ending

warning: confusing at first bc its the type of movie that slowly reveals things as it goes

super classic and famous japanese love story, finally a change of mood from the previous

for guarg when she wants a nostalgic romance told in flashbacks set in high school, or when she wants a calming movie with a beautiful winter backdrop 

warning: slow

sweet but sad movie that makes me cry when i think abt it

for guarg when she wants to be moved but also feel frustrated at the unfairness in the world, or when she wants to see sweet dorayaki being made by a sweet old lady

warning: slow, like slower than the other movies ive warned as slow. also, you might cry

a good average movie turned into a masterpiece bc of the NEXT LEVEL TWIST ENDING, seriously the best twist i've ever seen in my entire life, even better than the sixth sense twist, trust me, you will not see it coming, no matter how seasoned of a movie watcher you are, i fucking SWEAR

a movie abt what would happen if cats didn't exist. v emotional and slow.

this movie has my heart, no gimmicks, just pure heart, and good music

lgbtq movie, v touching, love the unexpected relationships formed

based on novel by the same author as confessions (above), shes known as the queen of mystery in japan btw

for guarg when she wants a well written mystery where things are not as they seem, also the way the story is told is unique, its one of my faves

a good intro the genre of dark comedy and very heavily saturated japanese films

for guarg when shes in the mood for something funky and different, or when she doesn't have to watch a movie she will love

warning: quite different from probably anything you've seen before

classic movie that you just have to watch, even if you don't like it. i think theodora would agree with me

healing slice of life, overcoming trauma, so many desserts

for guarg when she wants a healing and hopeful movie with lots of cute dessert making scenes

not my fave but its a classic, you just have to watch it if you haven't already, and you definitely have to read the novel bc its way better

for guarg when she wants maximum healing as this movie will cleanse her soul

part two of the healing and soul cleansing movie
