Is it for you?

Right up the alley of anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 15 min. Short enough for a weeknight.

Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
