This movie messed me up

I thought I was just going to watch a cute movie, not a thoughtful reflection on death, memory, the pain of loss, and the importance of loving the “Other.”

*Light, but potential spoiler in the next paragraph*

In the Winter Lamb, I saw every outcast character I have ever loved or been fascinated by and a poignant representation of an innocent purity, soft and uncorrupted, before the onset of a hardened and jaded perspective that comes through repeated cruelty, as seen in Sebastian the ram.

I could only see my comfort characters (Sad Men, of course) and mourn for them. ❤️‍🩹

For many reasons, I highly recommend the movie! Watch it with a soft heart and prepare for all the feels. Also, sheep and lambs. 😭
