Very conflicted with this one; on the one hand, it’s shot so
beautifully and the way sounds/music and camera work mesh to create suspense
and sadness is brilliant. On the other hand, i feel that this film could’ve
been made to be under an hour, easy. There are a lot of scenes that i
personally feel go on for way too long. Sometimes it works, but a lot of times
i felt that it was unnecessary. I get we’re supposed to feel like the ghost
with the passing of time and whatnot, but meh, i get it, i don’t need to be
bludgeoned over the head with it.
There’s also some pseudo-philosophical shit I don’t care for
going on as the film progresses, but it’s not incredibly off-putting. “We’re
all gonna die, life is pointless, etc. Nietzsche stuff.” Cute, but unnecessary.
I’m more interested in the sadness and loneliness of the now fractured
relationship.
All in all, it’s definitely worth one watch-through - some
really gut-wrenching and heartbreaking scenes, not overly sentimental but still
very emotionally charged. I probably wouldn’t watch it again, but I did enjoy
it overall.
6/10
