I was lucky to catch this at TIFF, and also lucky to see it with the director in attendance.
I really don't think I can write anything eloquent enough to do justice to this film. The story is deceptively simple, told in an ingenious way, with a multidimensional understanding of each and every character. Every minute is crafted with purpose.
At one point near the ending, there's a moment of dialogue between two specific characters. I'm not going to give any details to avoid spoilers. These characters said some simple lines, but these lines were so devastating and emotionally pure that I can hardly describe it. The screenwriter and director made it all look so simple, yet something like this can't easily be replicated or achieved.
And the ending. I left the theatre thinking one thing, and then with more thought, it hit me like a train hours later.
I don't know when this will come to theatres, but I'll be eagerly awaiting its release.
