About 5 minutes in I could tell that this film was going to elicit some pretty visceral emotions from me and it absolutely did just that. I don’t think that a second of this was wasted, and all three of the main performances were grounded in a normality which I really enjoyed.
The obvious melancholy was lifted by what I felt was a deeper and more joyful core; that the relationships which you expect to define your life but then don’t, can still contribute to your person in a positive and meaningful way.
