Our take

A exquisitely shot tale of doomed romance from David Lowery (The Green Knight) that invokes the spirit of Terrence Malick, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints boasts stellar performances by Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck. A Sundance award-winner, this heart-wrenching drama is as tender as it is resolute.
