    Transcendent

    Beautifully paced and acted, room for the entire humanity of it all, space for everything. This movie is a classic in understatement and beauty. The location (volcanic emptiness), the score, and, above all the acting of the two protagonists, who deliver a tour de force in the full range of human emotions.

    Amazing

    We were looking for a movie like that for quite some time now. What a nice surprise to find a story that is real, emotional and in it's simplicity, really incredible. The main actors did an amazing job bringing to life all the emotions, in life changing events, that can relate to any of us. With no surprise, it's becoming a well deserved collector of many awards.

    A wonderful film

    Beautiful cinematography, acting and music. A great story, well told beats big budget every time. It had emotion and laughter served with cleverness. It's one of those rare gems that I know I will think about again and again.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and would recommend anyone to watch it...

    Beautifully paced, uplifting triumph

    A stunning film that navigates big themes-grief, trauma, anger and ultimately, kindness and human connection, with tenderness. The casting is sublime, stunning performances all round. It's heart-breaking, devastating, life-affirming and absolutely uplifting. See it, you'll be all the better for it. Congrats to all involved.

    Beautiful ... just beautiful.

    This film is a delight from beginning to end. The cinematography is stunning and the score by Anne Dudley is sublime.

    The two lead characters beautifully portray their different experiences of grief, and show us how two strangers can hold space for one another in the kindest and subtlest of ways.

    The gentle pace of the film allows you to step into Anne and Bill's experiences so effectively, that one particular scene left me feeling momentarily bereft for Anne.

    There are moments of searing emotion and pain, but there is some wonderful humour too.

    I hope we see more from the writer and director Joseph Miller because this is a story full of heart and a truly beautiful film.
