Inside Out 2015

wow this was just incredible. an entire essay could be written on it, really. the idea that we need to accept sadness to be truly happy is, ultimately, what stays with us after it's finished and it could not be more touching and mature. i think this is more impactful for people who've already had to let go of their childhood than for people who are still living it (quips like "riley's 12 now, what could happen?!" and "what's puberty?", etc are truly made for an older audience and i love that). I truly believe this is one of the best coming of age films I've ever watched. Also, the Joy puppet in my head had a big moment when I successfully picked up on that Chinatown reference - perhaps I am a true cinephile now!
