The film is grainy, mostly handheld that gives it a voyeuristic and often claustrophobic feel. By the end, there is a sense of contentment despite the knowledge that not all problems are solved. The three central performances are quite good, as is Nyman's glorious score. I was generally engaged, though I wish there had been a few more transcendent scenes where it really clicked. But it's an excellent movie that explores our inner turmoil, need for connections, and precious moments of joy.
