  A good film about parenting... which makes me realize for the first time how badly cinema usually fails at representing what it is like to parent a child.

You think you already know what will undermine the labor of care in this film, because the story is so familiar to all of us, but you don't. Nothing in this film can be anticipated. It will surprise you.

  rhythmic film that has a delightful way of avoiding clichés. like most films, its a gentle portrait of toxic men… mixed with incredible middle-of-nowhere scenes of rural european abandonment, seen through the lens of a market on wheels. for architects this is enough to recommend it
