For those that are unfamiliar or familiar with, there have been some controversies surrounding the movie which includes undeclared scenes and sexual assault allegations between the cast and production during the filmmaking. I acknowledge the controversies which are pretty bad but I try my best to go with the mindset of separating the art from the artist.
As a whole, stories about families, secrets, discovery, and past aren't stories that are grand and have been explored in the past. Filmmaker Catherine Corsini doesn't offer anything too special with it's narrative and direction, but the colorful camerawork, strong performances and chemistry, and interactions between the characters helped the movie to feel engaging and meaningful.
The colorful camerawork, some interesting themes, and characters interactions felt genuine and engaging to observe with emotions and secrets explored. All of the performances are great and the uses of sound designs are really good. As mentioned, the narrative isn't special as it does full into some cliches and eventually felt a bit lost with what it really wants to be. Including some characters feeling a little underdeveloped.
Overall, if you enjoy watching stories about secrets, families, and past, this would be for you.
