Love Letter

1995

★★★★ Liked Watched

Extremely human — people throughout a lot of this one act very "real" in a way you don't often see on film. Loses points for some soap opera-y plot points that contrast with the aforementioned naturalism, but still great overall. I don't know that I've ever found a character's choice as painfully relatable as the boyfriend trying to logically figure out who's sending the letters because he has to know and in doing so totally ruining the emotionality of it.

Good call from my father. Possibly the most heavy-handed movie ever made, but not in a bad way. Absurdly good cinematography.

Thanks, Xas.
