Reason to see: critical acclaim
It's not very often I see a film and immediately want to see everything the director has done, and this is one of those times. Gentle pacing paired with stunning visuals bring this film to be more than just a simple viewing experience but an experience in it of itself. A personal journey that isn't always easy to watch but always feels like it is getting closer and closer to the truth. This is a gem of a film.
Shannon's Overall View:
I loved it
I'll buy it
I highly recommend it
