Julien T This film haunted me from the day I first watched it... And the soundtrack which I keep coming back to doesn't help me forget it! Deeply moving, bittersweet, funny, charming... it's a rollercoaster of emotions that will not leave you unmoved. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review JJJJJJ J I don't know how to put this. So i guess I'll just start with the basic. It was perfectly shot. Mise-en-scene great. Really fantastic. I did have questions about the plot structure, and if being told in chronological order could have made this film better, but that is a bit of pandoras box, the saying goes we never will know the counterfactual... Moving the 'how it was told' aside and focusing on the story at hand, i felt for the most part it was okay and engaging enough, yet for some reason through the vast majority of the film I never felt any deep emotion about what was happening. Only in the final scene did something really seem to click with me. That did work. The final 10 minutes hit on something hard about what love is and what it means to love. I just do not know if the 110 minute run time justifies this. I think this film is worth the watch there is something there and that something is special I just have this want for it to have been something more. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review isla s This is a sad, sobering watch about the highs and lows of a couple of country musicians. Its a dutch film, so its not set in the US. Its quite an emotional watch at times. I enjoyed the scenes featuring their live performances. The wife Elise is shown to be the perhaps more open, honest and emotional out of the two of them but Didier, the husband, also has his own sadnesses and hopes and so on. Its a somewhat emotionally raw film. The depiction of anger and despair is very well put across and it covers the themes of grief and loss quite well, handling such a delicate subject suitably. Its a somewhat thought provoking film and one I would recommend. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Worthless. Half a star for the music. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review filippo v Il film offre un'esperienza talmente intensa e deprimente che risulta indimenticabile e ricca di emozione. La trama tragica e degradante viene accompagnata da una colonna sonora fantastica, sempre accesa ed emotivamente carica, creando un contrasto tra musica ed immagini che lascia il segno nello spettatore. Sporadiche incertezze tecniche nelle scene chiave non intaccano il quadro generale, un film ricco e corposo che ci lascia preziosi insegnamenti morali. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Felix van Groeningen's Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film from Belgium breaks hearts brutally with an abusive romance of a pair of bluegrass musicians fraught with opposing religious beliefs and affliction from nursing a cancer-stricken child as the poignancy is accentuated by a non-linear narrative reminiscing of broken memories.
