Was very American but the build up of tension where the main part happens is crazy

Great cinematography & soundtrack. 1st half very compelling but felt the film lost its way in the 2nd half.

The 1st half was great. Shot well, good storytelling, emotional. The turn to romance instead of following the family’s grief was a let down.

A beautiful Frank Ocean mixtape put to picture. Seriously, one of the best soundtracks of all time and a captivating story

It's a movie that reminds us not to judge other people if we don't know their history and trauma.

At first I thought it was going to be a cringy romance movie. Very surprised how it ended up. So beautiful and heartbreaking.
