Looks like a great movie!

Pretty good. Definitely better than the crap coming out of Hollywood the last 5-7 years.

It's a really good dramedy. 8/10

It is good, I liked the dialogue and the treatment of relationships, but they forced into it this tearjerking moment that was not even consequential for the main character.

Care to elaborate on which moment?

Him dying of cancer.

I went into it completely blind, it was mentioned in someone's recent Criterion Closet video, but they didn't really say anything specific about the movie. Whatever little they did say, it sounded worth watching. About 45 minutes in, I just wasn't into it whatsoever. I paused it and grabbed my phone, I think I was going to look up its RT score or whatever, and I saw that it was #3 in a "loose" trilogy. I thought "Oh, thank god" because that gave me an excuse to switch to something else and not come back until I've seen the first two. If that ever happens. I can't remember the last time I did that, just aborted a movie mid-way because I wasn't into it. Normally I can power through anything once I've started it, no matter what. I generally have zero problem watching a movie like this, a character study of someone realistically making their way through life with nothing epic or bombastic happening, foreign film or not. This one just didn't hook me at all.

So you failed to invest in the story and cut out before the most acclaimed scenes? Good job, I guess.

Can you please name fifteen other movies within a two year release window that you consider to be "like this"? Feel free to finish watching this one to form an informed opinion.

Looking forward to your titles.
