I honestly really and truly cannot stop thinking about this movie. To be clear, I haven't read the book, but the hype around the movie coming out and Artemis 2 launch recently forced me into a movie theater for the first time in a while. And it is so good, it is worth all of the hype.
Ryan Gosling's performance is nothing short of incredible. He is acting alongside a puppet for most of the movie and it is so good, he cries multiple times and it's gorgeous how open he is able to be with his emotions. And he's funny! The puppet also deserves its own mention, the design is incredible and the emoting from the design of the puppet is so endearing and amazing. You feel so much for this little guy.
I also just loved how hopeful it is, the story is sad and my partner cried multiple times, but at its core it's a story about hope. No one is really the "bad guy", we are all trying to figure it out, and working together we can do it. It's just what we need right now.
Also special shoutout to the fact that Gosling's character is widely agreed to be aroace, I love that representation. I hope someone tells Gosling that he did that for us.
It's such a good movie, it'll save your love for humanity. I can't stop thinking about and being fascinated by it, I'll probably pick up the book sometime soon.
