conulyCried buckets. Watched it again with just Eva and Jenn. Cried some more.
The specific shape of the family problem to solve was made abundantly clear to me the first time we were told that "we don't talk about Bruno", though Jenn read something (link hopefully coming) about a Colombian saying it was reminiscent of how there are some war related topics people just don't talk about. I don't think that context necessarily negates my interpretation, but I want to read the thing she read first.
On first watch Eva was vocal about her opinion that the songs were a little too Lin-Manuel Miranda (she's not a big fan) and, coincidentally, her favorite songs were my absolute least favorite. But, idk, not only do I think that some of those songs might grow on her, I also think that both the animation and the lyrics for We Don't Talk About Bruno are pretty amazing. Love it or hate it, you have to give them their credit for that one.
