SEEN 16 SEPT
Solid OTT watch — exactly the kind of film that works better at home than it might have in a theatre. Nothing here demands the big screen, but nothing here disappoints either. The central performance carries scenes that would otherwise feel fairly routine. Dialogue writing has some genuinely sharp moments scattered through otherwise functional scenes. Background score occasionally oversells emotional beats that didn't need the extra push. A comfortable, well-made film without much ambition beyond being comfortable and well-made. Not a must-watch but a perfectly pleasant way to spend an evening.

Didn't expect this to work as well as it did.
This is such an underrated one, glad you reviewed it.
Music was the real hero of this one.

The lead carried entire stretches of this single-handedly.

Put this on expecting background noise, ended up glued to it.
Took a while to get going but absolutely worth it.
The interval block alone is worth the ticket honestly.
Second half could've been twenty minutes shorter, no?
The supporting cast is what makes this work.
The cinematography deserved way more conversation than it got.
The background score did all the heavy lifting in the emotional bits.
Took a chance on this because of your rating. No regrets.
The rating feels fair, maybe even a touch generous.
Family loved it, I was a bit more mixed.
Seen it twice now and picked up new details both times.
Rewatch value on this is higher than I expected.
Saving this thread, want to revisit after I watch it.
