About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, character-focused coming-of-age drama with anxious Cold War tension and messy relationships; Not for you if you need fast plot or likable characters, like in Fish Tank.
Pros: terrific cast; strong lead performance; evocative 1960s mood | Cons: slow pace; thin character depth; soap-opera turns
