A quiet, understated film that trusts its audience more than most recent releases have. No dramatic score cues telling you how to feel — the performances do that work instead. Some viewers will find the deliberate pace frustrating, and that's a fair criticism. The final act payoff justifies the patience it demands from you earlier on. Cinematography is restrained in the best way, letting scenes breathe without over-directing them. This won't be for everyone, but for the right audience it'll stick with you long after the credits.

Adding this to my list based on your review.
The rating feels fair, maybe even a touch generous.
Music was the real hero of this one.
I wanted to love this more than I did.
The pacing in the first hour is genuinely excellent.
Was not ready for that third act turn.
Didn't expect this to work as well as it did.
Everyone slept on this when it released.
Still thinking about the ending days later.
Rewatch value on this is higher than I expected.
Not perfect, but ambitious in ways I appreciated.
The rating feels fair, maybe even a touch generous.
Second half could've been twenty minutes shorter, no?
This is such an underrated one, glad you reviewed it.
Watched with a packed house, made a real difference.
Good call on the rating, that's about where I landed too.
Been recommending this to everyone who'll listen.
First half is a breeze, second half tests your patience a bit.
That performance deserved far more recognition.
