I loved this movie! I haven't seen a movie like this in years. It reminded me of 90s movies like 'Slacker', 'Ghost World', 'Swingers', and others. The acting by all cast was respectable. I love the single camera, one take stage performance style. It's how actresses and actors demonstrate their craft. I also like that style because that's how we see the world. We don't see the world in closeups and quick cuts.
The movie depicts a realistic relationship between women, who've known each other for a really long time. We all know a person who we've known for years that struggles. I had a girlfriend just like Jo. I did all I could to try and get her off pills. She ended up having a kid. Then overdosed and lost custody. We try to help people but our own lives get full and complicated and it gets to hard.
When these people we care about pass away, it hurts, because we hold on to the good memories of them. Time passes and they become a distant memory that we're grateful for.
I personally find the long takes to be interesting. It gives me time to look around and appreciate the scene. The question becomes how long can a single camera angle last before viewer gets bored. I personally think a minute or two feels about right.
I enjoyed watching the movie. I'll probably watch it again sometimes. I don't know who I'd recommend it. It's a peaceful movie. The sound is good, locations nice, I loved it.
