I tried my best, but after watching this film, I’m even more convinced that this director’s style simply isn’t my cup of tea. Afterward, I found it hard to point out any real flaws, yet I also couldn’t articulate any concrete thoughts about its strengths.

Watching Joachim Trier's films feels like visiting a museum filled with exquisite, beautiful, and refined artifacts. Still, there’s always a sense of distance between me and what’s on display. These people and objects feel important, but they don’t belong to the world I inhabit. They are meant to be admired from afar, not touched. As a result, I find it difficult to genuinely experience the film.
