Phuong Le Guardian A melancholic jazz score weaves in and out of this enchanting film, which luxuriates in the profundity of unexpected encounters between strangers and the delicate cycle of things lost and regained. Rated: 4/5 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury The Age (Australia) Shot in velvety black and white with a looping jazz sax score, Lesage's film begins with scenes of a snow squall blitzing a municipal park; like those whirling flakes, it is light, soft and wafting with poetic nostalgia. Aug 6, 2020 Full Review Pat Mullen POV Magazine This poignant elegy for human connection reminds one of a distant past in which one could approach a stranger on the street, rather than scurry away from them during this prolonged period of social distancing.
