Featured review
Utterly phenomenal. This is the only time I've cried since 5th grade.
I'm not one for writing reviews, and in fact this is my first (and probably only) review I'll ever write. But I just wanted, needed to share with people how utterly phenomenal this episode is. i'm Currently in the process of changing all my ratings on IMDb, making everything one or two stars lower. Because if this episode gets a ten star rating from me, then everything else I've rated a 10 so far should drop 1. I don't think I've ever seen a piece of filmmaking as amazing as this. This is the first time I can safely say that there is not a single aspect of this episode that isn't phenomenal in every sense of the word. From the performance to the writing to the way the whole thing ties back to it's beginnings in a beautiful mosaic, as I would call it. This was a perfect self-contained episode. Not a millisecond longer than it needed to be, and the story is told in an amazing way, perfectly capturing Ruth's view of life. The end was amazing and I'll be honest, this didn't feel like a TV episode, it felt like a movie. And a movie that is better than any others I've seen at that. Seriously, watch the show, if for nothing else, to see this episode. None of the other episodes even scrape the bottom of the barrel of this one by the way. This is the only thing I've rated a 10 on this website, and I would give it way higher if I could. Trust me this episode lives up to that rating in every way, shape or form.
