    Did not dislike this movie, but with that being said the way their love story was told cutting back in forth in time I felt like could’ve been done better. I felt there was not enough time to get attached to the characters making certain scenes not as impactful. It was undoubtedly a sad movie, nonetheless, showcasing the profound impact death can have and just how important it is to cherish all moments in time.

    This movie was astonishing and seemed to In capsule the complexities of feelings and love. The first time I watched this film I really didn’t like it and that’s because I didn’t understand it, and now that I do I was able to appreciate it a lot more. Even though it was a sad movie I really enjoyed the truths that were painted throughout the story. The score with the piano music and cinematography with such contrasting colors were also so moving.

    I loved how so much of the movie is conveyed through silence and how the movie emphasizes the moment in between. The ending could’ve been better but still a beautiful movie.
