extremly sad but perfect
16 February 2024
This is a truly deeply story, perfectly played and about loss and loneliness with a quartet of perfect actors blending together in a breathtaking way. It's very inspiring to see a filmmaker and an ensemble operating on the same emotional pace and level. It's crystal clear that the director created such a comfortable and suitable set for these performers, all greatly displaying the kind of vulnerability that we don't often see in these dramas. We see melodrama, and we see manipulation, but honest vulnerability is rare, peculiar and special. The people here are genuinely damaged, and it takes a form of a true suffering. Jamie Bell is also fantastic and the pair proves to be a perfect and greatly matched couple. The rendering of the eighties or late seventies is made very precisely. The ending is naturally terribly sad.
