R Victor B 05/28/2023 All the beauty and all the ultimate angst, so wonderfully and movingly rendered. It is a totally unpredictable tale--as is the story of most lives. Although I am not the first to say it, could the principal setting be any more splendid? See more Bridget W 05/20/2023 Wonderful story about the journey of 2 best friends. Beautifully directed, showing true love between 2 men without crossing the line. Nice to see a wholesome movie without any sexuality. Gorgeous cinematography. See more Kembell 05/11/2023 An extraordinary thought-provoking fim. See more Ben K 05/07/2023 Gorgeous, thoughtful look at friendship and family. See more Jonathan K @aFIREintheattic Nov 23 I think I'm being a little harsh with my rating, but the film is very slow. If you're in the mood for subtlety and picturesque views it's a good one, though. The story is nuanced and the acting matches that tone. The two friends come across as stereotypical men who don't talk about their feelings and barely communicate, which is probably relatable to many people, but not to me. Because of that I found it hard to connect with them or believe the depth of their supposed care for each other. There's very little emotion in the film. It's detached, and it never pulled at my heartstrings. What it does have is great cinematography and some stunning landscapes. It's a beautiful movie to look at, just slow and longer than I think it needed to be. Some of the hiking shots looked legit perilous for the actors. I can't believe they let them do that kind of thing, and it sure wasn't CGI or even stunt doubles best I could tell. See more A F @RT73431669 06/11/2025 Jury Prize, Cannes 2022. A memorable story, accompanied by superb music from Daniel Norgren. See more Read all reviews
