Carl Ingebretsen’s review:
About 30 minutes into this, I broke. Completely. And pretty much stayed in that state for the rest of the film.
A quiet, intense, honest, bitter and utterly heartbreaking look at love. Possibly the best movie I've seen in a long, long time. There are so many great things about it, so much that I loved. So many clever uses, fantastic performances, fantastic scenes.... I can't praise this movie enough. It's fantastic that even in our times, there are people capable of telling stories about love that actually feel fresh.
I loved it.
Wow. I didn't care for those two at all, I struggled to get through what I thought was a quite awful indie. But to each his own, I guess. :-)
omg wat are you human (no im sorry, im sure you are, i just what)
Each to his own indied. :P
I think indie-films are some of the most divise films ever made (which is why I love the "genre"), especially those about love, like this. The actors, the handheld cameras, the script (or lack thereof), the music and shots - there are so many things that can pull you out of this film and make you not believe in the relationship, etc. I can understand that.
What was the worst thing about it, in your opinion?
