Can't sleep despite feeling gross. Watched Hirokazu Koreeda's Monster. That was one of his best by far, much less of the cloying sentimentality that always crops up at the end of his films and tarnishes the emotional impact of otherwise sensitively observed characters. Those kid actors were amazing, too. I was fully engrossed. Can't believe I didn't watch this earlier. Highly recommend. I also want to visit the town it was set in, so beautiful..

Back to attempting sleep and no dystopian nightmares tonight, thanks.
