ମୂଲ୍ୟାଙ୍କନ ଓ ସମୀକ୍ଷା

This is a brilliant and thoughtful film. I've seen many people criticise the film being slow and dull. However the purpose of this film wasn't about the best story. This film was using the reflection of 2 characters, showed us the 2 different ways of mindset in life. Letting things go vs holding onto the past. The contradiction between the 2 created a clear boundary line that make us realise life is all about moving forward. Sometimes, there are certain things you have to let go.

Heavy story about the burdens of fatherhood. Other than one scene, very emotionally unengaging. Quite slow and dull. In all, I wouldn't recommend purchasing. Rental if you're up for a hit-or-miss.

Solid drama. Grating in some ways, but very watchable: quietly powerful in its better scenes. Has subtitles.
