About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re in the mood for a quiet, slice-of-life drama about loneliness and small choices, but Not for you if you need a clear plot, big payoffs, or tidy endings like in Meek's Cutoff or Old Joy.
Pros: subtle, human-scale stories; strong performances; striking rural backdrop | Cons: very slow pace; minimal plot momentum; unresolved, sketch-like arcs
