Learning to Cry

About This Movie

Learning to Cry is a unique documentary that dives into the often-avoided topic of public crying, particularly through the lens of masculinity. It’s an exploration that feels both intimate and oddly humorous, as we follow Joffrey, the lone applicant for Much Wenlock’s Town Crier position. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to sit with Joffrey's internal struggle about embracing vulnerability. There's a rawness to the performances, especially Joffrey's, as his journey challenges societal norms. The practical effects are minimal, yet the emotional weight is palpable. It’s not just about crying; it’s about what it means to open up in a world that often discourages it. A distinctive blend of humor and poignancy, it lingers with you afterward.
