Review by choco0605 ★★★★½


The movie was quite shocking. Each person has a different background, and they can only speak and think based on that, which can be seen as arrogance.
The word "family" feels incredibly fragile. I liked how the movie didn’t provide a clear answer. As a depiction, I really liked the movie, but as a story, it was utterly hopeless.
It’s the kind of movie i can only watch when i'm feeling strong.

I did not know what to expect from this film. I liked quite a few bits of it and it was a decent story. Some bits of it did drag but overall, it wasn’t a bad movie.

“Righteousness doesn’t equal happiness”

A lot of thought provoking ethical dilemmas are introduced but not solved, allowing the audience to interact deeply with the subject matter both during and after the watching experience.

The exploration of sensuality and connectedness was incredibly beautiful; focusing on physical touch and companionship as the central theme of sexuality

"Glad you are back!"
"So am I"

Very multidimensional & real. A film about healing, life and the fact that some of us cannot take our emotional underwear off..
