Moonlight’s basically my favourite film so I was really looking forward to watching Barry’s second feature and I’m sad it didn’t struck me as intensely as Moonlight did. I think much of it is due to the screenwriting which Barry contributed to but didn’t do by himself in Moonlight, unlike in this film which he wrote all on his own and for me, it was underwhelming. The pace was a bit off and dragged in some parts, but the story was still relevant. Now, what is undeniably Barry’s strong point is the beautiful way he shoots his films, and what i feel will become his signature slow motion close ups. The love story was beautiful, sure, but i feel like the issue the film deals with deserved something more dramatic. But still, I quite liked it.

8/10
