8/10
Timeless, sincere, and enjoyable

Whoever is saying this movie is aimless probably didn't get it. Every scene has some significance that builds on the characters. It felt like it could have been made in any time period, it was so simple and relatable. The pacing was actually rather quick, I don't think there was a single scene over 2 and a half minutes. I didn't want it to end. Everything felt so tangible, the sights, the sounds. On certain shots the exposure is completely bonkers and I don't think it was intentional. Like some shots look like complete garbage, grainy, but for the most part the movie was actually gorgeous. Almost every scene was a static shot, and the movie did not need anything more than that. They don't harp on any one thing too much, and almost every shot has a different, and well thought out design. I didn't feel like a lot of the shots were repeats, except for where it was deliberate. A lot of beautiful images and scenes in this film. I watched it completely randomly while browsing Mexico Netflix (have no idea how that even happened lol) and it was just a treat. If you're a fan of film in general and want a nice relaxing watch, with little conflict, and the main character making friends this is the movie for you.
