Thanks: I haven't seen it but have read and was moved by the book. And I wasn't going to watch it but now definiely will. (I would also recommend The Blue Kaftan for similar reasons!)

Would love to hear what you think of the adaptation, Caroline - and thanks for the film recommendation; I missed this one!

Thank you so much for this piece. I couldn't agree more. I haven't been so moved by a film like this in years. I saw it a second time in the theater and was surprised again by the nuances and emotional depth. The film asks for you to move to a place of feeling rather than logic. As a director she is doing something very different, moving into a realm of the feminine. As a female filmmaker I find this film and her conversations around it deeply inspiring.

I LOVE how you’ve phrased this, Taylor! - “The film asks for you to move to a place of feeling rather than logic.” So well said; thank you for sharing. May I ask for film recommendations that move with the heart in the same sort of way, if any come to mind?
