    Still not sure how to interpret this or articulate how I feel about this, but it is a very arresting film. One of the most unnerving movies I've seen with such an oppressive atmosphere. Definitely need to rewatch it. Go see this if you haven't yet.

    Pretty decent fun. Not very thought provoking and really shows it's budget (especially when there's a shot where you clearly see the boom mic.) It's fine

    Couldn't even finish it. Absolutely boring with seemingly no point or message beyond being a saccharine, sappy movie about the passage of time. I think this would have worked a lot better if it had just flowed in chronological order. As it is, we just see roughly 30 seconds of each plotline at a time play out and it just feels so tedious. The singular camera angle gimmick gets old fast and makes you yearn for just something else to happen. It creates a distance from the characters that goes against the sappy tone the film is going for.

    Absolutely beautiful film. The only film to ever use On the Nature of Daylight correctly and has one of the most impactful montages ever in a film.
