... if the story itself is uninspiring, Robinson, who previously worked as a photographer and music video director, brings a precise vision to the cinematography.

... a narrow perspective ...

… a film made with precision and daring, anchored by brilliant performances, that represents an uncompromised artistic vision.

… elegantly realised …

… leaves its audience nostalgic for better movies.

… radical in its attention to its characters’ lives: they are treated as both historically particular and singular, in the way that each rose is beautiful and unique.

Einbinder and Anderson deserve credit for maintaining the credibility and emotional connection of their characters, anchoring the film despite its dramatic tonal shifts.
