Leaves you with a sense of loss
Well casted and well shot
Breathtaking, insightful wonderfully written and excellently executed.
The camera work was grear.
Different plot which is a nice change. Amazing camera work. Leaves many questions to mind but the plot is understood.
Cast good. Confusing story for me. Fell asleep a couple of times at 100pm and I don't work nights. perhaps that's why confused.
Metacritic
Talbot’s film is not perfect. A scene set to Joni Mitchell’s Blue makes its point awkwardly, and the narrative, like its characters, is prone to meandering. Yet as a film about place and personal mythology, it’s hugely moving.
The musical score by Emile Mosseri of the band The Dig, is very fine stuff, supple and surprising in its blend of classical, jazz and pop strains. It adds to the otherworldly quality established and sustained so well by Talbot, and by the actors.
Mostly, the movie has a cascade of images and ideas, reference points and glimpses of everyday beauty that flow and swirl and, over time, gather tremendous force.
