Not my cup of tea in the overall sense, but I can greatly appreciate what this is, everything technically speaking is great. Additionally the last 30 minutes are fucking heartbreaking.

Theo got a way to make struggles so authentic and genuine. The story is touching and emotional with profound messaging on political divide and turmoil all while being a love story is truly remarkable . I fucking love this man and his movies speak to me.
P.S the music slaps
