I definitely recommend watching this film, and be patient. It's worth it. This film takes its sweet time but it is incredibly impactful.

The film spends its time teaching you about our characters and using sad events in their lives to get us to sympathize with them, which just about works. The story for how these characters came to meet isn't really that interesting but it makes sense, feels like it was a bit half arsed.

I'm writing this after watching the film for a second time, so even though I was expecting the ending, it didn't make it any less sad and tense. I'll never forget the surge of emotions, of my first playthrough, when I saw the date on the chalkboard. That moment is when it hit me and I spent a good few seconds in disbelief. This film goes from 0 to 10 in a few written words, they don't even say anything. In the entire climax of the film, nothing is said, no direct comments, which allows the scenes and the music to create the amazing atmosphere. I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry both times after watching this. Expecting it doesn't take away from the experience.
