10/10
Beautiful, Poetic, Honest

This film is a constant reminder of our mortality. The mind fades but we recall the most cherished memories. I remember my grandmother, as she was in her final stages of Alzheimer's, clearly looking into my eyes and her expression changed. She remembered I was important to her.

This film captured the radiance and vibrancy of Iris' spirit and the deep, simple love and passion between two kindred souls. I can only dream to find this love of my own. I sobbed from beginning to end for many reasons i.e. sorrow, the true beauty of love, the importance of the senses, thinking, feeling and acting on our own desires...This is a reminder of what exactly film is which is TRUE art. All three main characters' acting was simply amazing and truly believable. However, heed my advice, you must be in the right mind frame. This is not a light hearted piece.
