8/10
A surprisingly moving film that started off kind of off-kilter and eventually settled into a rather conventional rhythm despite its unorthodox style - black and white "silent" film with voiceovers. Of all the movies in the world to be reminded of, it made me think of The Notebook. Not in a bad way, just that the plots share undeniable similarities. I liked it more and more as it went on.
And a quick aside - director Miguel Gomes was present and very funny and self-effacing as he apologized for the quality of the print (Blu-Ray instead of film), looking like he hadn't slept in about 10-20 years.
