6/10
THIS MOVIE NEEDED TO BE LONGER
6 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Truthfully,I enjoyed it quite a bit. Bit it is ultimately a bit shallow and rushed. The fallout they had made no sense,the characters were blandly undeveloped and had no depth. But I won't blame them. That is what happens when you try to fit what should be a probably two and half hours film into one hour and twenty minutes.

Yad and his mum should have had a more in depth conversation about why he left school. How did they feel about it. The mini argument they had could have built up to more. Who even is he. All I can see is a party goer who left the big city and returned to his hometown. Why. They are refugees,how does it affect his life?

How did Joris really feel about his dad dying. Why is Joris' mum so cold. Someone who was so vulgar and discriminated against Yad was quick or accept that the son was dating him. His sister,Moon might as well not have been included in the movie. Even if we don't want to learn about her,she should have given some depth to Joris. And for a main character who is so torn up about his father's death,I seem to know nothing about the said father or Joris misses him so much.

The characters are heavily bland. The grandmother,Ans, is the only character with life in this movie

They could have done far better
