positive · AI labelView post →Wrote about the Look Back movie and how its message about making art is intertwined with the unique approach to creating animation that Kiyotaka Oshiyama has cultivated. It's a film about this path being inherently isolating but also a means of connection, about it being painful yet inescapable

neutral · AI labelView post →LOOK BACK (Hirokazu Kore-eda, 2026). Delicate, bittersweet film about two very different girls who bond over a shared talent for drawing manga stories, only for their creative paths to diverge once they leave high school. Hard to talk about this one without giving the game away, >> #FilmSky #LFF
