The relationship between two brothers
Even though I will watch another two movies tomorrow, today is officially my last full day at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival also known as KVIFF.It was awesome, I'm definitely going again next year!
I can say Pierce could be one of the best movies I watched here (if not The best). I witnessed the red carpet presentation of the staff and the main protagonists of the movie (omg the applause was so weak, I felt very sorry for them ?) and then went to the actual screening.
Ms. Low's speech was awesome, she even cried during it. Almost every seat in the hall was occupied, that was crazy! And then they received so many long and loud applauses I was happy ^^ I hope they will win the main contest, it blew me away how good it was, they deserve it ?? I even cried which is very rare for me. The movie is beautiful. I knew it would be good when I saw the big poster at the festival. This is Nelicia Low's debut feature if I'm not mistaken which is even more breathtaking. She is very talented. It left such strong emotions on me that I was trembling after the end and couldn't get to calm myself. If I could I would make another reservation or buy a ticket to watch this masterpiece again!
A big Thank You to Ms. Low, the staff, and the actors, you all did an amazing job ??Pierce is the best movie of 2024 for me and I think nothing will beat it now. And I'm excited to see what awesome project Nelicia Low will prepare for us in the future :)
Today is one of the happiest days in my life ?
