I'm not a big fan of dramas because they usually leave me sobbing in the corner of my room and thinking why life is so damn unfair. That doesn't mean that I think those movies are rubbish, just that I don't watch them often. So there is no need to tell that I approached this movie with caution but, as it turned out, I had nothing to be afraid of.
Four different tales of powerlessness and loneliness and what wouldn't people do to escape it. The movie doesn't leave you helpless and questioning the meaning of life, which, in my case, is important, but instead you except that neither them nor you can do anything about it and that, though you do the best you can, life still sucks.
But what impressed me the most was the music. If you heard the songs on the radio, you probably wouldn't think them special in any way (I know I wouldn't), but as background music to most of the scenes it just works. It makes them more real and (for the lack of a better word) close.
So,the verdict is: it is sad, yes, but just enough.
