About
Choose Columbus if you enjoy quiet, reflective relationship stories grounded in a specific place and artful atmosphere; Not for you if you need faster drama, or if you only like lighter, more romantic films like Past Lives or Certified Copy.
Pros: beautiful modernist setting; strong lead performances; quietly reflective | Cons: very slow pacing; architecture focus may bore; emotionally thin for some
