9/10
A complicated story with unexpected results
30 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
All the norman expectations don't apply for this complex and well-crafted filum. The main characters Ali and Ava are both emerging, wounded and confused from collapsed intimate and somehow unfinished relationships, where thier extended families are niether 'in the know' nor understanding of their errant family members who are attracted irresistably to each others intuitive understanding and love for one other's ability to function in the haze of half-realised, shadowy phantoms from their family dynamics which hint at the profound disorientation and lack of cohesion in their daily lives.

Uncomfortably desperate, they cling to on another like the children they care for and inspire in their separate lives. As if, nothing else matters, their love for on another blossoms as they find a deep and unusual understanding in the other as they each seem to give each other the propect of what they need to progress with their struggle. Their love unlocks a boundless fund of caring and much-needed mutual love despite the cultural and racial differences between them.
