An absolutely amazing film. Beautiful deep storytelling with some heartbreaking performances. All performances all the way round were just amazing.
A nice sober way of presenting the narrative, with lot's of style but never distracting. Everything centered on these beautifully written characters and their mainly painful situations. And painful it gets.
Films like this are rare. "Crash" comes to mind and especially "Short Cuts" and maybe "Magnolia", but the heartache felt here and the wonderful complexity I have only before seen in one other movie. and that was "Amores Perros", which is my favorite film of all time.
It's a hard watch and it's draining and I probably won't see it again for a couple of years, but it is absolutely essential viewing that I can't recommend highly enough 10/10
