Not for everyone. It is slower and subtle. But it has a sense of beauty and heartbreak that causes you to feel for the protagonist
The story, the quaintness, the rawness and soundtrack make this one not to be missed.
Gorgeous cinematography and brilliant naturalistic storytelling. Somewhere between a film and a documentary. Highly recommend.
Emotive, raw and humanized drama about giving up dreams and self-acceptance. Chloe is an amazing storyteller, simple but always profound.
A patient and at times heartbreaking story of loss of purpose and the depression that follows. Builds a very real world and atmosphere.
Truthful depiction of manlihood struggles and expectations in the 'west'.
Has the feel of a novel; strong chapters and meaningful drama.
Zhao is a genius in portraying this persons life. It feels personal and rural. The amateur actors are a gem
Gorgeous film about masculinity and purpose.
A young man turn middle aged by learning that he needs a new purpose in life
