Rob J This film builds around you. I started with no knowledge. No reviews read. No storyline summaries. Slowly it revealed itself and managed to create an emotional and thought provoking end. I recommend. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Martin F It's a dragging movie that says way less than it thinks it does. The movie revolves around three stories, two sets in the present about a couple and their family after their separation, and a third story 50 years in the past in another country about a mother raising her kid with Down syndrome. The mix of those stories is so badly done that you feel like navigating between two different movies as if the director couldn't make a choice. Ultimately, they tried to link all three stories together by using something as lazy as "past lives" and a visit to the medium but the connection was also done too late, we are already bored. The stories are also very repetitive with very few moments to push them forwards. The present timeline is forgettable if it's not for the naked scenes with surprisingly stylish visuals. The past timeline, on the other side, is actually interesting as we learn about the difficulty of raising a child with Down syndrome in the 60's with relatable characters. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review isla s This is a sometimes sad, sometimes touching and certainly thought provoking watch. I'd say its perhaps, at times, more about morals than romance. I thought it was good to see a film tackle the issue of having a child with downs, which is still probably regarded as a bit of a taboo by some. I thought some of the dialogue was almost poetic. There are some sex scenes, so its not for especially young viewers but I wouldn't say it seemed entirely tacky or exploitative. In a number of scenes, we see characters underwater, which I suppose could represent rebirth, or otherwise struggling to stay above water in life, letting or not letting things overwhelm you perhaps. There are two distinct plots present in this film and I found it an intriguing and thoughtful watch that I'd recommend to others.
