Full Disclosure: I had to look up what Impressionism was after watching this.
I didn’t love this one, but it’s been almost 24 hours since I watched it and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I keep returning to what @TrentJones said to me one time: “the fact that you’re thinking about it this much/having this discussion means it’s a good movie.” But when I ask myself “what was the point of telling the story in…

The first half was losing me because I struggled to understand what Andre was talking about and how it all connected. But I…
