i haven't watched this since i joined letterboxd (early 2017) which is A CRIME because this is actually my favourite movie ever. I cried 4 times only in the first half an hour (nostalgia?) and I'm still amazed by the range of emotions these horses show. also co-directed by a woman!! we stan!

slightly biased as a romanian (who has been planning to watch this for like 5 years now), but really, romanian cinema is great at expressing fucked up things, especially within scenes of people sitting down eating. like i think it's just so culturally us to talk about anything and everything while eating with the family that the scene while she sits uncomfortably at dinner with her boyfriend's family, and also the last scene, just carry so many unspoken things with them. the other settings were all equally immersive (and anxiety inducing) but i think nothing beats the confined space that is a dinner table.

barely watchable. i was gonna rate it higher at least for the craft but it just gets worse and worse. going by a friend's words, the author of the book admitted there is no moral of the story or purpose and I can SEE that. it's just crimes displayed on screen and called art. i feel absolutely zero empathy and connection to anyone in this movie. it goes against my morals.
it fails as a piece of good media becauseβ¦

In romanian turkish delight translates as "shit" and it confused the hell out of 13 year old me, who didn't get why Edmund wanted to eat such thing, more so, sell his siblings over it
