I believe the Oscars are a scam, but I was still thrilled when EEAAO swept them this year. That film was darn near perfect and I can't praise it enough. The first and only time I've ever cried in a movie just because of beautiful cinematography. (I've cried plenty due to emotional writing, but I'm still surprised that EEAAO's visuals alone were still enough to make me cry at certain parts.)

A masterpiece of a film and one that came at the perfect time for me in my life. I made the jump from theism to atheism months before it came out and I had just started grappling with the sudden exposure to nihilism I was experiencing. I was uncertain and a little scared and that movie helped me navigate and understand those feelings in a way I don't think anything else could have.
