A year and a half ago I was perusing Netflix on one of my Sunday-night binges. I came across a movie called The Last Five Years and have watched it so many times since that I think it's actually an obsession.
I think everyone could benefit from watching this movie at least once, and here are a few reasons why:
1. It shows what love is supposed to be like
Anna Kendrick's character is so genuinely in love with Jeremy Jordan's. If someone ever looks at you the way she looks at him... keep them!
2. Anna Kendrick
Whether or not you've given it much thought, there's no way anyone can hate Anna Kendrick. She's really just everything that is good and pure in the world. I mean... have you seen her tweets?
Anyway........
3. It shows what hurt really feels like
The way this movie was directed, scored, and the acting really made the hurting authentic to the point where you can feel it in your chest and you start thinking about your high school heartbreak thinking it's even remotely related to the plot of the movie. When Anna cries, we cry.
4. Lots and lots of singing![]()
Both Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan have some lungs on them, so it's much appreciated when they belt it out and I can watch it from the comfort of my bed when I'm having a bad day. Most of the movie is singing. There's a lot.
Like, a lot.
Like...
A lot.
5. Sorry, but... Anna Kendrick
Our lord and savior.
It's on Netflix and ready to be watched whenever you give a change. I would highly recommend it.
