About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like quiet, character-focused dramas about ambition, money stress, and finding direction, in a low-key style; Not for you if you want fast pacing, big emotions, or lots of dialogue like Godard Mon Amour.

Pros: intriguing subtle portrait; strong running focus; thoughtful mood | Cons: slow pacing; flat emotional range; sparse dialogue
