Tom is talented. Tom is tender. Tom is beautiful. Tom is…a mystery. Tom is not a nobody. Tom has secrets he doesn’t want to tell me, and I wish he would. Tom has nightmares. That’s not a good thing. Tom has someone to love him. That is a good thing. Tom is crushing me. Tom is crushing me…
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) dir. Anthony Minghella
The film tackles the transition from childhood to womanhood, challenges of mother-daughter relationships and generational trauma all in under two hours.

Director Domee Shi said she hopes the movie “starts those conversations and that we can eventually just normalize talking about puberty and menstruation and not feel so weird about it.”

It’s about giving. Giving yourself over to somebody. Becoming one with somebody else, forever. And that’s…that’s a beautiful thing. That’s surrender. That’s love.
