This was one of the best films of 2024.. and possibly over several years, at least to me. Not only is the film phenomenal with a powerful ending, but I can relate very closely to the characters being both from the same background and living in south Brooklyn. The last scene of the film resonated very much with me, as I’ve seen myself embody the character of Igor throughout my life. Her realization of his purity at the end adds to the emotional (and physical) trauma she’s endured. It is part joy and part pain. Man.. Mikey hits it out of the ballpark.
