Justin Chang The New Yorker 5d
Hamaguchi is a wizard at manipulating time and how we experience it; in his hands, stillness takes on the quality of suspense, conversation becomes action, and a day’s worth of drama can pass in a few minutes of screen time or expand. Go to Full Review Stephanie Zacharek TIME Magazine 5d
Shot by Alan Guichaoua, the film is so beautifully lit that it’s practically an act of wonder. Go to Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 6d
3.5/5

10/10

6/10
