About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like reflective mysteries about reinvention, travel, and history, with a strong cast and a gentle, talky mood; Not for you if you want fast pacing or simple plots like The Beach.
Pros: strong ensemble cast; beautiful Lisbon setting; thoughtful, reflective mood | Cons: slow, talky pacing; confusing timeline jumps; uneven, overlong story
