Honestly, I wasn't really into it at first. The first 15(ish) minutes were pretty eventful but not exactly gripping.
However, it suddenly became captivating in a way I didn't really expect. This whole movie was filled to the brim with pitch perfect story telling and world building, that also tapped into real life issues and emotions.
The story revolves around love in general, mainly the love of and for one's mother. It was honestly one of the most heartbreaking movies I've ever seen. I never expected to go into this movie, bored and then finish it with tears in my eyes.
It started slow, and took absolute ages to pick up the pace but it was totally worth it. It teaches the audience that love and pain are two emotions that go hand in hand together. Love leads to happiness, but love hurts more than anything else.
Maquia's story was filled with happy moments and sad moments. This is the story of a girl who lost everything, but still managed to find joy in life through love.
10/10. I'd give it more than that if I could. My love for this movie, and the sadness it induced can't really be put into fitting words if I'm honest. Not by me. Go and watch it, now!
