After the unbearable snoozefest that was A Brighter Summer’s Day i was hesitant about watching this. I was fully expecting another dull, bloated film.

How wrong I was. It’s a masterpiece. A quietly devastating work full of pathos.

It reminds me of the Henry David Thoreau quote - ‘the mass of men live lives of quiet desperation’. This is present in every scene.

Visually it’s not the most exciting, opting for a more subtle style. Some nice shots shot through windows where we cant see the characters talking because of the reflection of the city in the glass, giving us a ‘behind closed doors’ feel.

Fully deserving of all the praised heaped upon it.

Recommend it to anyone who has lived enough years to know that life is filled with suffering.

9/10
