About
You may like this if you want a restrained military romance about secrecy and discrimination, especially if Firebird or Ciao worked for you; Not for you if you need a fast pace or a clearly structured story.
Pros: important subject matter; strong central chemistry; polished look | Cons: slow pacing; muddled storytelling; weak emotional buildup
