When movie got near to it's end you're probably happy, and sad, or a more complicated mixture of them. A true life story that you probably find yourself in the main character, not exactly the same of course, but who is not to have a hard life or at least had one and now stuck in middle of nowhere of it when you think probably to not move is the best move. Those times when you think "oh, it's better not to make it worse" and make yourself calm when there's a huge bad feelings inside. Oh, life is not so brutal so it gives you some hints and help you to find your way, to fight with your problems with just simply face them and not to run away from them. This movie is about facing your problems that blocks you from your loves in a very real and smooth way. better to give this movie a chance to show you how.
... View MoreThe film is beautifully shot. Throughout a lot of the scenes it felt like i was looking at photographs. As far as the storyline goes, i'd say a mildly good one. It brings the viewer little introspective thinking about walks of life here and there throughout the movie, but nothing enlightning or emotional. Solid acting from Haley Lu Richardson.
... View MoreI feel like the movie tries too hard to come off as incredibly intelligent and profound, but overall it's merely quite boring to watch, very slow paced, and there's far too many repetitive shots of buildings. I mean my god does the director love symmetry, it's like every other shot is lined up perfectly symmetrical. All it showcases is a very poor skill at cinematography and a fairly average skill at photography. As for the plot, although it does develop the characters nicely, and touches on some very real life problems, it's all however quite.... depressing. I wouldn't dream of rewatching this movie for the directing, nor the story. And even the topics based on architecture were fairly disinteresting, especially considering I'm a student of the subject.In conclusion this movie really doesn't have much going for it so I really can't recommend it. I will however give full props to Haley Lu Richardson for an exceptional performance, an actor I'll have to look out for in future. Kogonada however I think I'll have to pass.

If you have trouble sleeping, and have about three spare sessions, or days, then watch this film, you will be cured, rest assured. The music alone sends one into a hypnotic spiral of wine induced sleepiness. This said, i did watch the whole darn thing, i did rate it more than one star, and there are actually worse movies out there. I would say, go into this one with your eyes open, but that might not last very long.
