Synopsis

Our take

British filmmaker Andrew Haigh is a jewel: a uniquely measured dramatist profoundly concerned with the inner lives of his characters. We adore his breakout feature, taking place over a stretched-out weekend, for its tender, sensual and poignantly realized evocation of the bliss of falling in love.
