Absorbing. Made me think about some profound issues. Very well acted and realised. Not afraid to take its time. Quite retro at times but I liked that - the 70s? A Scandinavian hippy retro which they do so well. And what do women want? Good acting and direction - perhaps over long. What terrible anxiety about life. Poor girl. Interesting juxtaposition between the 3 personalities with a suitably poignant ending. A really beautiful film, with fabulous performances from the main characters. A brilliant observational piece on the trials of being a millennial. My kind of film- truly enjoyable on so many fronts. Loved it. Good music as well and a lot to think about later. Thought provoking. Brilliantly acted. Emotionally powerful. Too much smiling. Rather too smug. Jam packed full - so much to think about. Not exactly enlightening. Scandi Fleabag? Not the worst person in the world but possibly the most irritating.Some good filming, especially the freeze frame sequence, and good performances but not really convincing. Slow burner.. not very engaging at start but got more interesting. Overall patchy. C+. Just make your mind up woman!
