A thoughtful drama portraying life of a renowned, solitary actor living an apparently luxurious life. The film debunks his seemingly perfect life by exposing the dissatisfaction, melancholy, loneliness, and monotony underneath. This gloom is intercepted as his daughter comes to live with him and suddenly his life is full of hustle and bustle, thrill, laughter, and intimate moments. The movie concludes as his daughter leaves and the bleakness in his life resumes. This movie is deliberately slow and has a reflective tone. The point of it is not any strong storyline or thrill but depicting the harsh realities of life, subtelties, and deep emotions. If viewed from a certain perspective one would definitely enjoy it as they notice minor details like facial expressions, emotions, and take a walk in the shoes of the characters.

Masterpiece to say the least!.

Long-winded, drag and dull. Barely thrilling.

Not really funny. Romance was also subpar. Overall, the movie seemed vague, long-winded and dull.

One of the most engaging movies I've seen recently.

This unparalleled piece of art has pushed me to write my very first review. The way this whole movie was orchestrated is indescribable. I am amazed by how nuanced it was and manifested the real-life struggles, adversities, depression, resentment, and detachment with a sweet blend of agony and humor. It was quite meaningful, and heart-warming and couldn’t do more justice to its theme. The fact that this movie is relatable at so many levels makes one fall deeply in love with it. The couple – Nicole and Charlie – faces issues in their relationship mainly because of their failure to cater to the emotional needs of each other. The movie beautifully portrayed the significance of the psychological compatibility of the people in a relationship and that communication is an indispensable component of intimacy. While both, husband and wife, were obsessed with each other their companionship succumbed to the absence of empathy, inconsideration, and self-centeredness. It was heart-wrenching to see that the ex-partners continued to have feelings for each other and their beautiful relationship collapsed just because they couldn’t manage it proficiently. However, despite the devastating issues the couple went through, it was wholesome that they showed courtesy to each other for the sake of good times and tried to the best of their abilities to not affect their child in their clash – they were good parents indeed. There’s a lot to learn from this elaborate, magnificent movie about navigating through a relationship and that is kindness, consideration, empathy, and sacrifice. The depth this movie carried and the edification it made possible, in an engaging and entertaining way, makes it a masterpiece.
