My heart is extraordinarily full after seeing Honeyjoon, a meditation on grief that is tranquil in its entirety, hilarious to the point that I was in tears and falling out of my chair, and places you into a pool of overwhelming and at times, unspoken loss. And as a sucker for films about mother/daughter relationships, there is a perfect balance here that pairs so well with the tone that I couldn’t stop gushing watching the entire film. Grounding in a lot of ways that was so needed right now, easily will be a favorite of mine for 2026, no question there!
“Do you think we can ever truly be happy? Or is it just an illusion?”“I think it comes in waves—in the little moments, but it’s not forever. Even more good reason to ride the wave when it comes, even if it will go. Because it will go.”
