One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Sensitive, emotional and gripping, yet quiet, this film captures all that would likely happen in a relationship such as this. Incredibility beautiful writing, this sounds at times like poetry and at others like a documentary. Just outstanding!

Great movie, but the back to the past-and-to the present scenes made it a little confusing at times. Better editing could've made it clearer. Overall, it's a great movie though!

Beautiful and very authentic story with believable performances. Emotional but in some very good ways. Was glad to see something a bit different. Excellent!

A fascinating - though at times uneven - blend of film styles.

Globe and Mail

This flawed but powerful immigrant love story is worthy of the big screen.

Rolling Stone

The overall feeling here is ethereal, dreamy, moody, memory-like -- a more user-friendly Terence Malick vibe. It is a gorgeous film, and one that deserves to be seen on a giant screen.

Rated: 4/5

Next Best Picture

This is the kind of film that makes one’s heart grow three sizes while watching it and considering the amount of Grinch-like behavior in the United States in 2020, it’s difficult to think of something more necessary.

Rated: 8/10
