quietly perfect
10 stars across the board is usually the sign of someone a bit delulu and in the throes of an oxytocin rush after finishing a title. But honestly, I'm not going to take any of them away.
Second time through and I love it every bit as much. The soundtrack is unobtrusive and right for each moment. The closing song (by 25 hours) has been on my repeat lately. Not going to link to it, save the video until you've seen the movie. And do watch the movie if it holds any interest for you. It's quietly excellent.
The story is great. It's not earth-shattering, but that's the point. It's told in that fantastic unrushed Thai way. There's humour, and heart. And kindness. So much kindness. Small cast, and they're all perfect for their roles, including the kids.
Seriously, why change a thing in this film? They got it exactly right.
