If you've ever loved and watched that love slip away within a mist of misunderstandings, watching this will hurt. It reminded me of several relationships where the love is still so clearly buried underneath, but the fantastical leap it requires for both to acknowledge their part in the breakdown, and dash all the hurt and hesitation to try again costs too much for most of us to see it ever fulfilled in the real world.

Every word, yearning, loud silence, look, and emotion was compelling and true to form in how most of us would react seeing a lost love like this after so long.

Perfect cinematography, mood, OST, acting, and symbolism to do such a deeply altering experience justice. Watching this was like living through wistful poetry with a soft, lingering note of hope.

Just exquisite.
