SEEN 9 SEPT
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.

This is the kind of film that needs a big screen.
Solid watch, though I'd rank the director's previous one higher.
Watched it FDFS and the theatre response was something else.
Family loved it, I was a bit more mixed.
I keep coming back to that one sequence near the interval.
Seen it twice now and picked up new details both times.
This aged really well, rewatched it last month.
Good call on the rating, that's about where I landed too.

Second half could've been twenty minutes shorter, no?
The interval block alone is worth the ticket honestly.
Everyone slept on this when it released.
The dialogue writing in particular was really tight.
Didn't expect this to work as well as it did.
Caught this on OTT last night, your review was spot on.
Honestly this deserved a much wider release.
Seen it twice now and picked up new details both times.
Hard disagree on the rating but I respect the write-up.
Adding this to my list based on your review.
Been recommending this to everyone who'll listen.
