Le me start here: No one should review this film. Ignore the ratings. The best thing would be you sit down with the expectations you cultivated all your life, and take the trip. For my part, it was maybe 20 minutes after the closing credits I realized what had happened to me. And if you're lucky, you'll find out too.
The superb craftsmanship is severely underrated. The acting, cinematography, music, art direction and wardrobe are exquisitely executed.
The film's 'slowness' is not because of length, coming in at a lean 98 minutes with credits, but the story is about characters and their lives. Inevitably, that means there is a lot of talking. And for some, that might be 'slow'. But with such a fine cast, they find ways to take this quiet story to very interesting places. The complexity of the characters left us more than enough to discuss post-watching.
The most interesting character is the director. Angad Aulakh will become required viewing for me. I wouldn't have guessed he was so young.
