only time

I thought it was to tell a story of trauma caused by a woman's failed childbirth, but after watching the whole film, it is far more than that.

The blow is devastating, but what about after the destruction? The couple, who seemed to be happy and loving at first, fell apart all of a sudden. The husband obviously couldn't bear the pain, and couldn't even empathize with his wife's thoughts, so he vented in the worst possible way. After doing all the damage, with a sum of money given by his mother-in-law, he walked away in despair. It's nothing, he doesn't deserve it.

But the sad thing about this woman who has gone through everything is that no one seems to really understand her. Not a husband, not a mother, not a sister. It seems that she can only fight alone in this darkness.

And in the end, only time can heal everything. I really like the ending, everything will be alright, everything will be there. Wait, get over it, and eventually a breeze will bring you the scent of apples.

    2020 Toronto Day4 | I always feel that Vanessa Kirby's looks and aura are not suitable for acting as a mother, a typical RBF. So there is a lack of empathy throughout. Except for the last courtroom scene, she did very well: trembling lips, trying to control herself not to let her emotions collapse, I di... I do. I did... I look forward to her playing more powerful female roles in the future . Having said that, what is the main character doing? I cried twice, I was rejected, then I cheated, and finally got out. From quarreling to indifference to death between the two, it would be better if there were more writing and details. I think of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby by Model Worker and Yimei, and I don't think there is much newness when I watch this one again. The last paragraph can be omitted. Watch the subtitles again when Netflix goes live.

    7.1/10 The quality is mediocre. Procrastination and lack of light, the childbirth scene led to top-heavy, and the trial as a fulcrum was untenable. The relationship between husband and wife and the relationship between mother and daughter are not clarified. The image of her husband is not three-dimensional. Is it because of cowardice or grief that he chooses to cheat physically and resume smoking and drinking? Is he a struggling father, husband, or a cowardly wretch? The lens language is appreciated, and the long lens is very nice, which is the icing on the cake. The heroine's performance is very dazzling, I think it deserves a performance award. It's not bad, it's mediocre. It bloody presents a family that was already cracked, suffered an accident, and finally fell apart. And a stubborn, kind, strong and vulnerable mother. But the degree of completion is not high, like a punch on cotton, there is no dramatic tension, and it is difficult to infect the audience. Far less than "Manchester by the Sea," maybe my expectations were too high. She erased everything about the child, but she was obsessed with the growth of the apple core, and the pain was hard to let go.
