Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn a 2022 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Paul Schrader spoke about how the style of the film serves to create an atmosphere of unease and unfamiliarity: "Well, there is a coldness; there's a withheld-ness - in the performance, in the production design. There's not much furniture around, and what's with those jellyfish on the wallpaper? So there's a kind of distance, which is intentional. And that little room he lives in, which makes no sense. So, yes, you're using those stylistic elements to make the viewer feel that there is a gap between what you want to feel and what you do feel. And that's a calculated gap that you create stylistically - sometimes by use of the camera, more often by not using the camera, by not giving certain things. It creates a sense of unease, that makes you feel, 'this could be a story I know very well, but somehow I'm looking at it and I don't think I know it very well at all.'
- GoofsAround the 41 minute mark, where Maya was injured and asking to go back to work, she was seen closing her book, but when the cameras pans to Narvel and Isobel by the door of the workshed, Maya's book was opened.
- Quotes
Narvel Roth: Gardening is a belief in the future. A belief that things will happen according to plan.
Featured review
A slow burner that after 10 minutes you just forget to check your phone
I had just watched 'You Hurt My Feelings' before this one, a very poor effort at trying to make some emotions for its story, but then I stumbled upon this movie accidentally. Wow. What a difference it makes. Not only had it top-class acting in every department, but also a story so well told, I was constantly wondering where it was going. Will it be bloody as hell (what I expected), or something completely different? Real emotions ran deep in this movie, never over-explained any of them at all. The direction is spot-on, obviously, as so the score and editing. It has been simply the best effort about human emotions since I saw 'Fathers and Daughters' back in 2015.
