This is quietly operating cinema. No big events, no crisis turns — just people and how they live through what happens to them.
Strengths: atmosphere, actors, accuracy of detail. Weaknesses: the pace isn't for everyone, the ending may feel unresolved.
For people who watch films for feeling, not entertainment.
Director: Jodie Foster

Viewing atmosphere: An evening when your mind is at peace. With someone you can sit in silence with after. Wine or tea.
