Great Film overall
Good movie but grossly overrated
Blistering performances.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
It's great if you like watching people in a small town look at buildings. Perhaps one of the best examples of this genre.
This film, obviously shot with architecture in mind, has a story that could be told in about 20 seconds. In effect, the film never actually starts. 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.
A perfectly brilliant yet understated film about the emotional purgatory before loss. Masterfully shot in a modernist architecture's real-life dreamscape- Columbus, Indiana- this film is the true standout of the year. Following two characters whose lives intertwine around their relationships (or lack thereof) with their parents, the script and story stays on point with a realism not often found in films that attempt tales like these.What you are left with is a genuine journey that finds beauty in the all-to-familiar and the foreign, and a glimmer of love between strangers during life's most difficult situations filmed with a delicate eye. A remarkable achievement in film.
I'm truly amazed by this movie and how beautfully was shot. Every shot was precised, balanced and the most important aspect that it had soul. Every shot that I saw, tried to tell something, and had a meaning. The camera barely moves, it doesn't want you to move either, it wants you to pay attention to the details and to the characters interactions. I really loved the calm slow pacing, it felt dream-like, and thanks to the great sound design the atmosphere, the sounds felt so alive, almost touchable. I think everybody can relate to each of the characters and their stories... The passionate young girl who wants to follow her dream but also she needs to look after her mother, and the son who never came out with his father and now his father dying. The instresting thing is that how the director wants to tell these stories. And it really works with all the characters. Their interactions with eachother and how they're connected with the love of architecture is so uplifting heartwarming, and intimate. A very beutiful movie about human interactions trough art. (sorry for my engilish)
