We're so close and so lonely

While watching the movie, I looked at the progress bar and thought: It's really boring... But I still gave it five stars.

I can't understand the hue, I can't understand what the close-up mirrors are trying to create. But the daily life is too real, and the characters' emotions and modeling are in place. Watching the male protagonist talk to his mother, a sense of resonance arises spontaneously. I also came to Japan alone for freedom. I'm avoiding certain responsibilities. When the male protagonist's mother said: I don't understand you, but I love you. I guess my mom thought the same thing. Could not help but wet the eye frame.

Family gives us a lot of love, but also a lot of hurt. The elder brother's inferiority complex, the loneliness left by his younger brother, and the comparison, with an adventurous heart, he had to compromise with reality, and in the end, he had to use more loneliness to protect himself. Everyone in the family is the same and wants to be understood.

I love you, but I just don't understand you. So, only intimacy and loneliness.

    Possibly Dolan's worst. The emotional expression is very problematic, and the large number of facial close-ups and the drowsy dialogue make it difficult for people to substitute. Death isn't as good as Time Stops, and August: Osage County isn't as good as family. It shouldn't be watched on a Friday night and it's exhausting. . .

    I think Dolan is restrained this time, and his emotional handling is more delicate than in previous works
