I knew what I was getting myself into when starting this. It seemed like one of those indie type filmed movies, where there’s plenty aesthetic shots, minimal dialogue, lots of symbolism and silent messages passed through every little move and interaction.

But, it was very boring in the beginning. 1 hour into the movie and it feels like nothing has happened. Strangely enough, it wasn’t the type of boring where you didn’t want to continue the movie but just like, anticipation type of boring if that makes sense. They’ve already set up what the story is about and you’re excitedly waiting for the big reunion to happen between the two main characters just like the daughter. But the beginning and first 1 hour of the movie was so extremely slow, I didn’t know what to wait for anymore lol.

Overall though, it was a cute little movie. The relationship between the mother and everyone else in the movie was very well put together. Although everything starts from the daughters point of view, when you think back on the movie, it really was the mothers POV instead.

Bittersweet, not dramatic at all, very quiet and emotional movie. Felt like I was watching real people on my screen, maybe that’s why it was a bit boring as well lol. That doesn’t inherently mean its bad but if you’re looking for an exciting wlw movie, this would probably bore you. Regardless, I liked it. The two separated yearners barely had screentime although the movie was supposed to be about them but now when I think about it, maybe it wasn’t about them at all. Rather, it was about the mother finally finding some peace within herself to start living the life she had been denying herself for so long. Its a pretty deep movie. If you’re into that type of genre, then you’ll probably like it!
