6/10
Not as deep as it could have been
9 November 2023
But still a decent watch.

Asking the big questions: Why do we suffer? Where does it all end? What makes life liveable? And like the son asked his father: What's the point of it all? Life?

This film uses a life changing (off camera) event, to question the purpose of our all lives. It is a lot of talking, yes, this movie pretty much "just" shows the conversations of multiple people that are all connected (family relations). But the conversations are rarely boring and interesting enough to make you think. Like, what would I do in this situation? What would I think of this?

The whole situation with the dad is a bit too vague to fully understand and relate to, and overall although there were interesting conversations that made me think, in the end I didn't find it "deep enough". I think this film could have gone even deeper into the big life questions (which this movie really is all about). It was overall still too lighthearted for me and I wished for deeper conversations. Interesting watch and concept, but could have been executed better. That's why just 6 stars.
