- She has surrendered to a joy known only by the insane. She has lost herself completely, and she is finally free. It is horrible and it is beautiful (Midsommar)
- Rather than water being important in itself, water flows from top to bottom. I think that’s the tragic and sad element in this film. Water always flows from the rich to the poor, it never flows the other way. (Parasite)
- Carrie does what Beatrix Kiddo and Ellen Ripley and Katniss Everdeen don’t: She does it for herself. Her vengeance, her violence, is in service to no one, no noble good. She doesn’t kill because her family and friends have been threatened. There are no friends, no fellow outcasts, to protect from the bullies. No little sister to shield from Mama’s wrath. Only her. And she is enough. Carrie kills because she was wronged. (Carrie)
- The happy ending isn't that the spell is broken and the girl is young again. It's that she forgets her age. (Howl's moving castle)
