About
You might like The Souvenir if you enjoy challenging, impressionistic relationship stories and art-focused coming-of-age drama; Not for you if you want clear plot momentum and strong tension, or if you’re expecting something closer to The Green Knight or The Lighthouse.
Pros: tense relationship portrait; strong lead performances; art-house atmosphere | Cons: unclear direction; little tension; slow, meandering pacing
