A fascinating - though at times uneven - blend of film styles.

Globe and Mail

This flawed but powerful immigrant love story is worthy of the big screen.

Rolling Stone

The overall feeling here is ethereal, dreamy, moody, memory-like -- a more user-friendly Terence Malick vibe. It is a gorgeous film, and one that deserves to be seen on a giant screen.

Rated: 4/5

When the couple reaches middle age, their romance starts to feel real, documentary-esque, and — spoiler alert — that’s because it is. ... This turn is a delightful discovery that brings both ambiguity and urgency to their tale.

Help, my soul has been shattered, and Heidi Ewing is the culprit! How she found a way to seamlessly weave her documentary background into this narrative feature film is simply astounding. My jaw is still on the floor.

As intimate of a movie as you will find this year.

One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Sensitive, emotional and gripping, yet quiet, this film captures all that would likely happen in a relationship such as this. Incredibility beautiful writing, this sounds at times like poetry and at others like a documentary. Just outstanding!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great movie, but the back to the past-and-to the present scenes made it a little confusing at times. Better editing could've made it clearer. Overall, it's a great movie though!

Beautiful and very authentic story with believable performances. Emotional but in some very good ways. Was glad to see something a bit different. Excellent!
