Deeply love this

ALL OF A SUDDEN is a powerful attack on the head and the heart. Its philosophical screenplay will be divisive (a character literally wheels out a whiteboard to lecture another about capitalism🤘😎) but it builds an emotional house of cards that beautifully tumbles down in the end

Hamaguchi's All of a Sudden - My third 5/5 rating this year. No doubt one of the best films of the year. I love every single person in this film with my entire heart. One of the most soulful, philosophically mesmerizing, profoundly heartfelt films I have EVER seen. #Cannes2026

ALL OF A SUDDEN is one of the most beautiful, compassionate, and profoundly humane films I’ve ever seen. You can reform a system from within and perhaps extend its life, but the same cannot be said for people. We are all born knowing that one day our time here will end. All we can hope for is that, when that moment comes, we leave this world peacefully. And that’s exactly what this immense film is: peaceful. A soulful meditation on the human condition and celebration of nurses and caregivers unlike almost anything else, it captures our capacity to laugh, love, create, and care for one another as we all move toward the same inevitable fate. Virginie Efira and Tao Okamoto are both heartbreaking and heartwarming together, their special bond carrying so much weight with quiet elegance, found in the tiniest of moments. Another intellectual, deeply emotional, and masterfully written and directed work from a brilliant filmmaker, one that earns every second of its 196-minute runtime.
