Comments
The Prodigal son - im kinda sad how his mother care about more about society than her son. Glad that his papi is more minded about it, that balances it out. it’s still a sad film though with truth on it.
See you soon - I agree that those men had chemistry. Hard to watch them say goodbye to each other. Him crying in the car while holding the koala stuff toy really hit me in the feels. Kinda cliche but if you really love each other you’ll surely find a way. I’m pretty sure that’s not last time they’ll see each other.
See you soon was just too good.
