Biggest Swing

The film jumps from pacing struggles around the 76-minute mark to powerful emotional climax at 92 minutes, gaining 1.5 points as character development pays off

The Parades builds slowly from its introductory concept to create genuine emotional investment in its characters' journeys through limbo. While some reviewers found the pacing uneven and the ending somewhat abrupt, the film's exploration of unfinished business and regret resonated powerfully, with multiple viewers reporting tears during key emotional moments. The strong performances, particularly from Lily Franky and the supporting cast, combined with effective music and art direction to create a bittersweet meditation on living fully.
