I was thinking it was a romance movie when watching the trailer and my partner and I were up for a romance movie and it was in sense but wow there was so much more to this story. It's a true masterpiece. Everybody should watch this movie.

I've read some negative reviews, but I thought this movie was beautiful. Unlike other movies and with multiple story lines you don't get lost at all, flows perfectly. And the overall message at the end is holistically universal and profound. The most touching movie I've watched in a long time. Refreshing.

Unusual but very touching and delivered in a clever way. One of my favorite movies.
