About
You may like this if you want an adult, discussion-starting drama about end-of-life choices and public pressure, with multiple parallel stories; Not for you if you dislike slow, sometimes confusing narratives like in Honey.
Pros: strong acting; thought-provoking dilemmas; ambitious multi-story scope | Cons: confusing structure; uneven focus; can feel long
