About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like quiet, reflective relationship dramas with a creative-process angle and a dreamy reality-versus-fiction feel; Not for you if you want fast pacing or big emotional fireworks like Two Lovers.
Pros: striking island setting; thoughtful, slow-burn mood; strong central performances | Cons: very slow pace; uneven emotional intensity; Bergman homage may frustrate
