A beautiful, restrained love story about a married couple dealing with a cancer diagnosis. It's a film that consistently refuses to romanticise the experience; this is a believable, honest and truthful portrayal of how ordinary people deal with horrible experiences - which of course makes I all the more romantic for its truthfulness. The central performances are wonderfully subtle - there's not a hint of grandstanding here - and everything else about the film is similarly understated; the cinematography, the lighting, the script, the production design ... everything works to make this a wonderfully moving but ultimately satisfying and quietly uplifting experience.
