The Bean and its omphalos (October 2022)

Text post

Well said: “empathy isn’t walking a mile in another’s shoes but recognizing the journey for others has been as fraught as yours, and offering companionship the rest of the way.”

“We miss out on a lot when we expect to be completely understood; all we should ever want is to be completely loved.”


There are reviews that say it’s predictable and cliche, but I enjoyed it. Maybe having migrated 3x in my life has something to do with it, I can relate more to the little fireball Ember (Virva in Finnish) than I do most other female protagonists. Watching it in Finnish added to the feeling of constantly trying to fit in (there were no English subtitles).
