I love Kenji. So much. He was always one of my favorite characters, because he's so fun and loving and the friendship he has with Juliette (I just can't call her Ella) is so genuine and beautiful. This look into his mind was both interesting and heart breaking. People see a happy person, someone full of sunshine and positivity, and they never think to question them. The entire series before Find Me, he's a breath of comedic relief, the one I was always excited to have mentioned because he's just a great character - but hearing his thoughts, knowing he bears his burdens so well, I will never look at him the same. I still love him, possibly more than before. This novella is important for so many reasons in relation to the story and how it'll progress, but it was also necessary for those of us who love Kenji so much to get to know him a lot better!

Earnest, very loose adaptation of Robert C O'Brien's novel. A young woman growing up alone after a nuclear holocaust must adapt to the appearance of two men in the valley where she lives.

I say 'very loose' because after a while this essentially bears no more resemblance to the source novel than it does to any of a number of other films in a similar vein: the movie adds a new character (which is a big deal in a story which originally only had two). What follows is thoughtful and well-made, clearly favouring Robbie's attempts to display her range, and the performances aren't actively bad. Even if you haven't seen other films dealing with this kind of scenario (and there have been a few!), the slowness and solemnity of this movie may get a bit wearisome after an while; others may baulk at the lack of an actual proper ending. Passes the time, though.
