This is one of my least favorite kinds of films that don’t keep me awake, because its elliptical nature made it so that I was sure I was missing important details, and was confused about what was going on nearly every time I opened my eyes, but it’s not Almaric’s fault he made a film for people to watch while awake, plus Krieps’ performance was so strong it pulled me through to the end, and I loved it when she touched that guy’s chest. ⏰⏰

This is a film about grief, but I’d also call it a character study, in which Vicky Krieps gives a performance that elevates Hold Me Tight above similar films that deal with trauma, and while its slow burn may put off some viewers, it held just the right amount of tension for me, and all that beauty didn’t hurt, either. ⏰⏰⏰⏰
