About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an intimate, realistic period drama about resilience and self-expression, with a gentle, reflective pace; Not for you if you need constant action, neat payoffs, or a big climax like Land of Mine.

Pros: moving, character-focused drama; strong performances; rich sense of era | Cons: slow, low on plot; little big climax; photography stays background
