This is not a genre that I normally watch (but I might now if there are other gems like this) and I don't recall how it got on my list but if you have chance to watch it, I highly recommend it.

This is great storytelling; scenes were truly heartbreaking and moving. The character development and story progression made me feel attached and invested. After the "incident" I felt all the anger and sadness of the ML. I wanted him to lash out. I wanted payback. The acting was nothing short of phenomenal. The emotions felt genuine. There was no fluff, no filler, each scene helped to move the movie along. It didn't fell like a 2 hour movie. The chemistry between the FL and ML worked well; I was really rooting for them. I wanted them to have a happy ending.

The cinematography was excellent. The tight framing around the FL and ML faces made scenes more poignant. No distractions, you were singularly focused on the moment, the emotion.

There is not much to say about the music. It didn't stand out but it didn't need to. The "basicness" was just enough to help convey the emotions on screen; from the slow playing piano to add to the sadness and hesitation to the fast paced violin to increase the intensity.

Overall I can't find fault with this movie. It is definitely a 10 and something I would wholeheartedly recommend and re-watch.
