The blocking, the framing, the cinematography, all are exquisite and possibly some of the best I've seen.

Beguiling. I'm not sure whether I love it or not but I think I do. By obscuring what is actually happening and what actually happened the film raises questions and ideas and ends up like a dream. It's fascinating, and its look at parenthood is intriguing. Also it has to be one of the most visually gorgeous films I've ever seen which is probably why I'm giving my feelings toward it the benefit of the doubt until I see it again some day.
