    I perhaps wasn't in the right headspace for this film at the time.

    Felt it hard to connect with the story, too many characters, too little depth, frustrating (?) pace. I felt like I was trying to catch up with everything happening for the first half, but the second half was painfully slow and drawn out.

    gorgeous, entertaining and heartfelt, but didn't leave me with much?

    Overall I really enjoyed this film !! Well written story, beautiful colour grading, transitions and cinematography. I loved the tension created by the mismatch between the visuals and the score- I was stressing at multiple points in the film.

    I felt that on first watch (and in a group context), I didn't connect deeply with the story, but that may have to do with the acting from some characters (sorry Paul...). I will revisit at some point to see if I feel the same way, especially now that I know the full story.
