Don’t have a lot of words for this one. Made me ponderous and a bit existential.
I get the feeling this movie accomplished exactly what it set out to do, based on how it made me feel.
Many stunning shots with exceptional composition.
I find it interesting that I could relate to this town and these people even though the town I grew up in was very different and my experiences were nothing like these, at least on the surface.
Maybe there’s something universal about growing up that this movie captures.
