90A wholly enveloping experience. Gentle, ravishingly beautiful and awash in everyday sensuality, it so intoxicates you with the elegance and refinement of its filmmaking that even noticing, let alone caring, whether it has a plot starts to seem beside the point.
-
80It's a bewildering but deeply satisfying paradox, this constant, nearly silent collision in Tran's films of the visible world and the turbulent, unseen world.
-
80There are scenes that simply ask the audience to drink in the details, to enjoy the repast, just as much as follow the plot.
-
60If you're looking for refuge from summer movie bombast, it's frequently intoxicating.
