All of Us Strangers
I had to sit through my feelings before I actually sat down to write this review, as I wasn't sure if I was so emotional through it because I was having a bad day, or if the film was that successful in moving me to tears for the majority of the runtime.
But this film works on many levels. The thought of loneliness, queer (or homosexual) love, the idea of loss, processing long-held grief, and so much more. 583
The tears kicked in early, partially due to my own belief that I will never find love (there are many reasons I hold this distorted belief that I won't get into here), but there is hope that it might be possible. With the issues of the past eight months, I have pulled back from friendships and relationships because I don't want to be a burden, as I am tired of giving the same response over and over, and I don't want to be a downer. And, so many of us queer folks can relate to the feelings we hold toward our parents, no matter if they are a good relationship or a bad one.
I want to read the book and see how things were handled, considering it was a hetero relationship and see if it works just as well or not. 427
