Wow, I just saw this film at the San Francisco Film Festival and it
blew my mind, as we used to say.
Very powerful story that sneaks up on you and by the end takes you
further than you thought it would at the beginning. Intense if you have
experienced deaths in the family or just aging and loss of memory. Some
people in the audience openly sobbing or sniffling by the end.
Takes you on an almost psychedelic mental journey, if you are open to
it and allow yourself to contemplate your own relationships. Felt
therapeutic and mind-altering. I was definitely in an altered state as
I stumbled out of the theater. The future felt close at hand....
I'm still a bit stunned as I write this. Kudos to the writer/director
and all the actors.
