neutral · AI labelView post →48. All About Lily Chou-Chou (2001): in some ways nostalgic about how even the earliest form of the modern internet let us escape from an abusive social life, but in other ways critical of how it can make those unchecked, unfamiliar feelings fester and harm you and those around you. good-ass movie.

positive · AI labelView post →There are these softspoken moments through All About Lily Chou-Chou where the boys experiment with gender and femininity (not just their shared love of the singer) that feel more intense with the toxic and violent masculinity.
