About
You may like this if you enjoy meditative, stream-of-consciousness dramas about emptiness and searching for meaning, similar to To the Wonder or Song to Song; Not for you if you need a clear plot, lots of dialogue, and fast momentum.
Pros: striking visuals; reflective mood; dreamlike journey | Cons: very thin story; confusing, fragmented scenes; slow, sleepy pacing
