CGiii Comment
A relaxed and gentle film...about growing older, growing apart and loneliness. It will strike a resonant chord with most of us.
There is neither high drama nor histrionics...just ordinary folks trying to make sense of it all - managed with a mature sensitivity.
Mr Tan has come a long way from his previous films, showing an acquired skill with tender touches of subtlety.
Quite lovely.

The(ir) Blurb...
Recovering from an ill-fated affair with a married man, Gabe finds solace in the relationship he maintains with his ex-wife and daughter. On the other side of town, Ernesto evades life at home with his current live-in ex-boyfriend by spending much of his spare time in the hospital with an ailing past love. Impervious to the monotony of their blue-collar world, they maintain an unwavering yearning for romance. The emotional isolation the two men have grown accustomed to is captured in a subtle, optimistic, poetic fashion while avoiding melodrama.
