That Burning House (2025)

That burning house that burned my heart.

I had the chance to watch this movie on my trip to Taipei during the film festival and what can I say, I was quite gobsmacked after it and left with many thoughts.

The first few minutes are a VERY hard watch but you must push though them to get into the heart and meaning of the story. Such an enticing way to direct the story, absolutely insane acting and overall such a harsh yet hopeful and raw depiction of life, the good, the horrible, the bad and the beautiful.

I totally recommend this movie, it was SO good.

That burning house or how the world and adults fail children again and again and again and how meeting one single great adult that will believe in you, trust you and actually fight for you and LISTEN to you can change the trajectory of your entire life for better. They won't tell you what choice to make, they will give you all the means, all the cards for you to chose what is best, for you to learn and realise what is good and positive for your life and there is a scene that subtly emphasises that.

Little note fo Bear. The entire world failed him. His parents, his teacher, the staff at the children facility and maybe that was the most heartbreaking part of it all.

If you have a chance, I highly recommend it but be aware of triggers!
