Simply...beautiful.
Rarely can a director derive simplicity from complexity...flawlessly, Alan Brown achieves the near-impossible...by slowly turning up the thermostat - from the frosty to the smouldering and onwards...to the downright heart-warming.
The choreography, the cinematography, the editing - all explicit in their finesse.
The soundtrack: the idyllic Scott Matthew and the frailty of Perfume Genius' closing...an inspired choice.
The performances...massive character arcs bridged by the small steps of familiarity...clever.
Alan Brown et al. - undiluted admiration and gratitude for such a magnificence.
