It's three and a half stars overall, maybe I was too dull to feel the shock that was fierce by gunfire.
The narrative of the film is extremely calm, and many details are quite moving. While flashbacks and imagination shatter the timeline, they gradually piece together the relationship between the family and their plight. The marriage of a female photographer is like air. Her eldest son has just given birth to his own child. However, the marriage relationship is also in crisis. There are also extramarital affairs between female journalists and colleagues, English teachers of father and youngest son, eldest son and ex-girlfriend, youngest adolescent son and his crush. Everyone has a secret, and everyone has a side they can’t understand for others. The contradictions and oppositions in life, the complicated feelings and relationships between people may be more difficult to deal with than shooting photos in gunfire, which may be the reason why Isabel has returned and left again and again.
Although the conversation between Isabel's husband and her colleague suggested that her death might be suicide at the beginning, everything seemed not so simple. Her colleague had to write an article, and a crisis seemed to be coming. As a result, I was accustomed to drama conflicts and began to wait. Finally, everything that should come came, and the article was published, but my father still didn't come and communicate with my younger son. However, there were no fierce conflicts or shocking answers. The youngest son finally talked to his father. The three men went to see the elder son's children together. The ending seemed bright, but nothing seemed to be resolved. The answer that was waiting for a whole movie has never come. The problem is what the director showed us. All these quiet, depressive, and even unprovoked things are violent.
