About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an intense, reflective drama about life choices and inner struggle, with interwoven stories across time; Not for you if you need upbeat pacing or clear-cut answers, like Far from Heaven.

Pros: powerful performances; thought-provoking themes; emotional impact | Cons: very heavy mood; slow, reflective pace; not straightforward
