About
You may like this if you’re drawn to slow, sensual relationship dramas with messy emotions and an art-house feel, somewhat like I Dream in Another Language; Not for you if you want a clear, fast-moving story or shy away from explicit sexual content.
Pros: strong acting; intimate drama; evocative atmosphere | Cons: slow pacing; uneven story logic; very explicit content
