I really loved Childish Things. It's one of those rare films that manages to be funny, raw, and quietly emotional all at once. The story feels incredibly real - sometimes uncomfortably honest - and has these moments that sneak up on you and hit you right in the gut. You could hear people in the audience both laughing and crying throughout, and I totally get why.

Special shoutout to the music by Fairhazel - it's woven in so seamlessly that it becomes part of the emotional fabric of the film. Not many soundtracks stick with me, but this one absolutely did.

It's the kind of movie that lingers long after it's over. Easily one of my favorite films this year.

The mockumentary subgenre presents itself as a documentary but is entirely fictional or satirical in nature. Mockumentaries mimic the style, format, and conventions of traditional documentaries, using techniques such as interviews, voiceovers, handheld camera work, and archival footage to create a realistic appearance. However, the content and events depicted in mockumentaries are intentionally fabricated for comedic or satirical purposes.
