Riceboy Sleeps
holy shit that breakfast scene was so painful to watch.
a story about loss, isolation, racism, family, growing up, identity, and so much more. all packed nicely in a simple setup between a mother and son.
this film is equal parts beautiful, warm, and loving as it was full of pain, sadness, and heartbreak. never has such a soft, inviting film hit me with such an extreme weight. once the credits started rolling, i was immobilized in my chair from the extreme range of emotions i had just been subjected to.
“mom, should we go back?”
“we can’t.” 541
