I understand the 7min standing ovation at Cannes.
U2 fan, or not, to expose oneself to the demons and desires on stage, confess your need for parental acceptance and approval, and to realize, our parent(s) are not immune to this life's challenges in it's short tenure, takes a brave heart for the average person.
Bono exposes himself full throttle, through stories of his youth and the band, his marriage, becoming a father, and his struggles of losing his mother and seeking approval from his father- and how all that has driven his desire to make music.
Everyone shares his story in their own way, but he makes sharing that story ok.
I have never given 10/10 but it is right for here.
Listen to his story- embrace your own.

I lived this Cold War as a child in the US who learned to duck and cover, and now living as an adult in east Berlin, and as father to a Berlin child whose mother is from the DDR. I have heard the family stories directly, from Oma explaining propaganda in WW2 through the resistance against the STASI by my family and friends here in Germany.
This is a documentary masterpiece of complicated truth and history.
Every American and European must watch this series and as one who knows Ukrainians, I am a better person to now understand this complicated would view leading up to this very misguided and unjust war in Ukraine.

Poe's work has been familiar to me since my single digits while attending Poe Elementary School in Houston (Which, now in my mid-50s I am still not sure why)
This modern take on the classic(s) from Poe, beyond the ok-timed jump-scares, is brilliant. It's my hope that the intertwined references and poetic-snippets provide sufficient intrigue to the work of Poe, but even without these elements, this modern adaptation stands firm on its merits in screenplay and cinematic character, while resurrecting Poe's greatest works.
Rated 18, perhaps slightly too restrictive for interested and literary-aware teens.
Bravo and Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."
