This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This film is a prime example that there can exist beauty in subtlety and slow burning pace. Cast in an impartial perspective, the drama and pain that unfolds from an alleged sexual assault drives home the nuance that can emerge from a case. Tension is laden through the inaction that seems to follow the protagonist and antagonist of the film, as we grow to question who’s narrative is the truth. The central figure Aly, is painted as an irrational figure…
While drawn out in its pretentious dramatization, it evokes a deep unsettling reflection of myself. The shame and self hatred harbored between myself and partners, an indulging of self destructive behavior. It is rare that a movie both bore and bring me to near tears. Torn asunder by the deep love between two people, the possibility of impossibility. To die alone remembering what could have been, held in their loving embrace, a lost memory. I’m not queer, I’m just disembodied.
