This may carry a lot. More than the Golden Bear! You can see it as a coming of age movie, an unrequited love story, a **** one, a real test of how emotions tremble in different life stages or a unique story about the ambiguity of art & literature production but it disastrously failed whatsoever! I tried hard to find the exact word to describe my feelings towards the first hour and I found it to be ANGRY! I was really angry. I was about to quit. Is that an audiobook?! There are few moments when I thank God that he will leave me a space to start looking deeply at his characters and feel their emotions but he soon stabbed me with another hefty monologues. I found out at the end that Mr. Haugerud is originally a novelist. This is how not to make a movie with narration. It's not the same way of writing novels, I swear! This could be a real gem if the narrator shut the f* up & let us feel. (and remove that pretentious scene of the nan climbing the ladder) Shout out to the teenager She’s a good actress. I have no intention to watch the other parts in the trilogy nor to watch a movie chosen by Todd Haynes! But at least, I learned a new way of making tea.

Com medo de ser mais incisivo (coisa que nem "Close" foi), o filme é lindo na captura de um romance prematuro entre a aluna e a professora, mas se torna frio em seu desenrolar, mais parecia que estavam criando uma tempestade em copo d'água. Não há aqui uma tensão, até mesmo a mãe e a avó da jovem se conformam com a situação, então todo o desenrolar , apesar de verossímil, joga num terreno bem anticlímax. E nem romance foi, está mais pra uma admiração com pitadas freudianas de desejo.
