10/10
SHOW, DON'T TELL

This quickly became one of my all time favorite movies.

It's a quiet movie. An intimate movie. A movie that truly feels like you're there in the scenes with them no matter what's going on. A movie that knows exactly what a close up is and the best way to use it to add something to the scene - and knows when to use a wide shot too. A movie that knows that silence is just as loud and effective as sound. Rebecca Daly is one of my favorite directors of all time now. I've never seen anyone present intimacy and feelings and emotions the way she did with this movie.

Astonishing is what it is. I loved every minute and will certainly be watching again for my own enjoyment and to study the ins and outs of this intense work of art.
