“I am not sure why, but thereu0026#39;s just something about this movie that brings warmth to my heart. I canu0026#39;t say that thereu0026#39;s something inherently unique about its message, but the way that it communicated it really resonated with me. There is no evil in this film that causes pain to characters but rather just unfortunate events. And itu0026#39;s not someoneu0026#39;s fault too. I think that this is a movie about the unnecessary suffering that we all have to live through. This message is often delivered with unnecessary pretentiousness and I was happy to feel none in this film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere were a couple of lines that felt unnecessary, but it is because the whole movie is quite subtle and communicates a lot without words so these lines felt out of place.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe cinematography is also great, although it is not something I often draw attention to. Oh, and the acting is absolutely stellar, especially one of the father, I couldnu0026#39;t take my eyes off his performance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am upset that nobody I know saw this movie but I sure will recommend it to as many people as possible from now on so it gets credit it deserves.”
