The Besterest

Truly the best short film I've ever seen in my life. Its better than about 90% of features that I've watched this year. Maybe even higher. The first time I watched it in early 2013, I was convinced that Kristoffer Borgli was going to be the next Paul Thomas Anderson in cinema. A few times a year since then, I'll look him up and see what he's up to, and will rewatch some of my favorites. Like this one, Real Life Exp., Wherever I Look I See Myself, It's Not a Phase, etc. I feel like every year I get a new favorite from him.

I always love his work but this film in particular is just perfect. Documentary style and a great soundtrack. It's all at once funny, sad, beautiful, and intriguing. It's brilliantly directed. Absolute raw talent from everyone involved in it. And it's about time I leave some love for it somewhere online.

I said it in 2013 and I'll say it in 2021: The best short film I've ever seen.
