Whew. Just drove home after being devastated by All of Us Strangers. I gotta agree with you on the end... Why?

But incredible acting that felt so real. Next week is Andrew Scott in the one man play Vanya. He's so good.

CHRISTIANA!!!!!!!!!! I feel the pain with you!!!!!

I just can't get over all the acting. Andrew Scott was beyond. But all four of them were just so real, so embodied.

I have some time to myself this afternoon and solely based on this review, I am going to watch All of Us Strangers. Because I can’t resist a literary sad movie. Will have to let you know how it goes!

Ooh you'll have to tell me what you think! I hope I didn't lead you astray haha. Like I said, I'm not sure how I felt about it and it was emotionally devastating, but the performances were just stunning.

The first time I remember ugly crying in a movie was Lilo and Stitch when Stitch is crying for his family in the middle of the woods. Heartbreaking. Also P.S. I Love You really got me. I had no make up left leaving the theater after seeing that one.

Oh man, I barely even remember Lilo and Stitch but if anyone says "Ohana means family" I get a little choked up! That's such a good recall.

P.S. I Love You is one of my ALL-TIME CRIERS. hahahahaha The same friend who cried her eyes out in Never Let Me Go (Natalie) and I both SOOBBBBB. And I don't even really like the movie! But wow, they really get ya.

I love these two, this is so good.
