Favorite Movies
This is a list of my favorite movies. This list does not include movies I haven’t seen yet and movies that I have watched but wouldn’t consider as favorites. The list might still change over time as I watch new movies or new releases. The list is sorted by favorite to least favorite. Some movies might be on the list even though I gave them a lower rating than others that aren’t, because I prefer the cinematography of those over some of the others or because they are just comfort movies.

1. Monster
Japanese Movie - 2023
This movie broke my heart again and again, it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The storytelling is incredible and really well paced. The characters are perfectly thought through and complicated in their own sense. This movie is heartbreaking and healing at the same time.

3. His
Japanese Movie - 2020
I‘ve watched this in combination with its prequel show His and I just felt like I was in my own comfortable little bubble. Heartwarming story especially right after watching the series

4. Sing in Love
Japanese Movie - 2022
This movie is incredibly messed up, but perfect in its chaos. The characters are incredibly complicated and there is so much trauma. This is not a movie for you if you are searching for something light.

5. Baby Assassins
Japanese Movie - 2021
I had so much fun with this movie, it had the comedy style that I‘ve often missed in the last few years when it comes to movies. The characters are amazing and the actors did a really great job with comedic timing and their representation of the characters
