THOUGHTS:
I didn’t know what to think going in, and for the first half hour it felt slow and overly arty. But then things got interesting, and the pace started to make more sense. And then I found myself genuinely moved on multiple occasions. It’s a love story set in a world where time and space are nearly eternal for souls who can’t figure out how to move on. Oddly the scenes with the two ghosts communicating hit me the most. Some very smart and emotionally affecting choices made there.
