5/10
Extraordinarily ordinary and almost too real.
13 August 2022
A year might have passed in between one day I watched part of this and the next one.

I don't feel motivated to be negative about this movie; it touches upon a quite desperation we all live with: the love-hate relationship we have with both our family and the institution of family.

Sort of like how Pollack just through paint at a canvas, this movie rather than a normal plot sails along one conversation after another for two hours and I feel sorry for people who were dragged along to the theatre to see it.

In its own way broadly aimable in a way that Pollack wasn't; almost two real with its naturalistic dialogue and acting with problems never quite escalating to a point where any character would even think "this is like a movie" yet still oddly relevant and timeless.

Infrequently, the main character returns to her solitary apartment, does trivial things and that's the whole scene. I suppose it's to stress how much more peaceful her life is without her family which I can respect.

There's even a song.

I can recommend this for people with a huge attention span and an affinity for movies that act as collages of the lives we all lead rather than have a plot based around unusual circumstances.

I like this movie a lot more than I liked watching it if that makes any sense at all.
