I might be biased, because I love slower-paced, contemplative human dramas. And it's a foreign movie? Be still my beating my heart!I thought the movie was beautifully acted, beautifully scored, and beautifully written (except for the admittedly weak ending). I liked that it's a movie about women, first. And I liked that the movie was simply but elegantly shot.I've heard some complaints about the ending, and I will agree that the ending was weak... in retrospect. While watching the movie I was right with the characters. But while I can look back now and criticize it from an emotionally removed position, I'm also a firm believer that the journey is far more important than the ending itself and this movie is all about the journey.
