    One of Matchbox/Strongberry's very best, which is saying a lot. I don't think there's a single M/S short I'd rank below 8.5/10.

    I have watched Tilted Summer at least six times and with every watch I find something I hadn't caught before that deepens the story. I've gone back and forth on which half of the main couple is more at "fault," a sign of great writing. Very few situations IRL are black/white, and engaging stories are best told in shades of gray. 

    M/S excels at packing layers of gray upon layers of gray in a very short amount of time. TS is a great example of that.

    Obliterating.

    Jang Yoo Sang is heartbreaking perfection in this role. He is one of my favorite actors and he is tragically under-utilized in Korean cinema. He moves me to the core in every role I've seen him play.

    Just finished what must have been my fifth watch of "Brake." More revelations I missed before. This is one I will watch again and again.

    So many Strongberry shorts help me understand my own adolescent/young adulthood/closeted gay angst, though my experience was decades before these films were made and I went through it halfway around the world from Korea.

    CHOOSING to consciously accept incompleteness as a state of being can be a real thing. And that choice itself can change at any time, and thus is itself incomplete...

    Bravo.

    Strongberry goodness.

    I live for angst, distress, transgressive behaviors, and heavy drama of all kinds, but this ode to sweet simplicity and love has my heart. Tears come from happiness too. :)
