wow. brutal and heart wrenching. i truly have no words. the only words i have is this is the best movie that i’ll never watch again. i mean, the way it shows war through children’s eyes, it’s so simple yet so devastating. you root for them, want things to get easier, but it just keeps piling on. the animation is so beautiful too, even when what you’re seeing is unbearable. this film doesn’t feel like entertainment. it feels like hearing someone share a piece of their soul. and honestly, i can’t deal with that kind of pain more than once, but i’m glad i saw it.
