Didn't expect much, yet absolutely LOVED it!

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2019)

I watched this wonderful movie with my boyfriend when I stayed at his place for Christmas. It was such an emotional journey for me, as I ended up crying my heart out. You know how it goes. It started with a couple of small tear beads, and before I knew it, I turned into one big deluge of sobs, streams of salty rivers gushing uncontrollably from my eyes. All those feelings that had been bottled up had to surface at one point, I guess, and Coco was a perfect trigger for that. I am so grateful, though, to have such an amazing boyfriend who I love so much and who held me tight in his arms and who understood perfectly what I was going through, without the need to utter a single word. It was the anguish of grief over my mum, now just a lingering memory of my dreams, and the fact that I also miss my dad, who is alive, but with whom I don't have the best father-son relationship. After watching the movie I actually felt really good and cleansed, as if I had been reborn, all thanks to this simple yet cathartic movie. I recommend it to everyone! <3
