Mini-Review: Stunning. Absolutely stunning.
Mini-Review: A script of gentle wisdom. A subtle epic.
Mini-Review: An imperfectly perfect film of listless melancholy. Very subtle and undemanding; almost existential. Prepare for your subconscious to get ambushed ('though preparation is actually impossible).
Mini-Review: This is a gem of a simple film. You can just tell everyone from the sound man to the casting director is hugely competent. There really is technical synthesis here. This accompanied with a warm and realistic script has me well won over.
Mini-Review: lyrical and surreal.
Mini-Review: Excellent. Note the prescient wind.
Mini-Review: Somedays, this is the best and only film.

Mini-Review: One of those films that -- while focusing on a specific event -- manages to beautifully capture the broader humanity through naturalism's interpersonal minutiae. I could envisage the lives of the two leads before and beyond the film, as well as hear their thoughts in each moment of silent soliloquy. It's not uproariously funny, but it's astonishingly wholesome for a film of its genre.
