On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are finally moving out of the garden shed! We watched the 2016 film from Rachel Tunnard, Adult Life Skills.
The subtitle of this episode is especially meaningful this time. As we kick off our month-long series of \u201cfilms that broke us,\u201d we found that it\u2019s important to understand the many qualities of grief.
There\u2019s the crushing weight of it that many of us are familiar with. It\u2019s the emotion that we wouldn\u2019t wish on a single person, but sadly, it\u2019s a universal and human experience.
But then there\u2019s the flip side of grief. It doesn\u2019t always have to be only sad. It\u2019s important to remember that grief is also an outpouring of love for what has gone. It\u2019s a final chance to show the love we carried within us.
In this film, the great Jodie Whittaker does an amazing job of portraying a broken person with unfathomable depths of unexpressed love. Hers is an powerful performance within a worthwhile film.
