A lot more foot than I was expecting but unsurprisingly found a way to my heart. Nonstop bars and a really stunning use of sunrises and sunsets in here. Am fairly certain it’ll be one that I come to love more with time

A talky, female-driven, 196-minute drama about the infinitely braided relationship between care and capitalism that’s prone to Wiseman-like meeting scenes and frequent detours into the world of avant-garde theater? It almost feels redundant to say that Ryusuke Hamaguchi has…

Hamaguchi’s screenplay for his first French film (co-written with Léa Le Dimna) overflows with insight and discernment at such great depth that it’s more like the Tao Te Ching than a script, more like a film by the Dalai Lama than an internationally beloved auteur.

That humanistic core found at the center of Hamaguchi’s filmography is fully realized in All of a Sudden, as the film’s characters cultivate empathy and attempt to untangle some of society’s most intricate webs. It’s a film that will not only remind audiences of the extraordinary power of art but also of the pain and beauty of being alive.

Whether the healthy truly are alive, Hamaguchi doesn’t say—but it is a testament to his immensely empathetic film that, by the end, everything and everyone in All of a Sudden seems to be.
