The tasteful simplicity of style, the 35 mm and the wanting to live within the beautiful ease of a painted in broad strokes story, held me through the lack when it came to the depth of these characters. Ultimately i think the restraint is both what makes this movie work, and what makes it feel hollow. Hallow, not in a vapid way, but in that the messiness of actual lives can’t fit inside these characters and so there’s a hole…
