To accept the past

It is a unique and thought-provoking film that blends elements of surrealism and drama. The story follows a young man named Rasmus who embarks on a road trip with his estranged mother after the death of his father. What makes this movie stand out is its use of a giraffe as a central motif, representing themes of loss, connection, and the search for identity. The film is beautifully shot, with a distinct visual style that captures both the landscapes they travel through and the emotional landscapes of the characters. The performances are raw and authentic, particularly from the leads, who navigate the complexities of their relationship with poignant moments of tension and tenderness. It masterfully uses the absurdity of its premise to explore deeper existential questions. The presence of the giraffe often feels like a metaphor for the things we carry with us, like grief, memories, and the awkwardness of familial bonds. There's a unique humor interspersed with heavier themes, making it a refreshing take on the road trip genre.Despite its quirky premise, the film is quite relatable, tapping into the universal experience of trying to reconcile with the past and the people we love.

very feminine, very beautiful. Everything is so still, gentle, but packed with emotions. Enjoyed it

Giraffe explores an interesting question: If a place disappears or changes, are our memories the only evidence that it ever existed? Should we place so much importance on the way things were, or should we welcome change to the places we hold dear? The premise had promise, but it was let down by it's writing (or lack thereof). The scenery was beautiful, but the narrative was unfocused.
