SEEN 15 SEPT
A genuinely moving family drama that doesn't rely on manipulation to get its emotional beats across. The mother-son dynamic at the center of the story is written with real restraint. No unnecessary romantic subplot forced in to hit some commercial quota, which I appreciated. Runtime is a bit much — could have trimmed twenty minutes from the middle stretch without losing anything. Supporting cast, especially the grandfather character, brings a lot of warmth to scenes that could've felt heavy. Cinematography captures the village setting beautifully without ever feeling like tourism footage. This is the kind of film word-of-mouth should carry, not marketing.

Completely agree — that scene stuck with me too.
I had a slightly different reaction but I see where you're coming from.
This aged really well, rewatched it last month.
That's a fair point about the pacing, didn't notice it on my first watch.
This one's better the less you know going in, agreed.
That performance deserved far more recognition.
Honestly this deserved a much wider release.
Might be the director's most confident film yet.

The climax divided everyone I know. Where did you land on it?

The runtime is the only real complaint I have.
Saving this thread, want to revisit after I watch it.
