About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fact-based, emotionally heavy drama about unconventional love and complicated attachments, with a deliberate pace; Not for you if you need upbeat romance or fast-moving plots like Living Out Loud.
Pros: emotionally intense relationship; strong lead performances; thoughtful, reflective tone | Cons: slow deliberate pace; unclear character motives; can feel depressing
