Who could have thought that such a simple story could have ended as a very beautiful film. I thoroughly enjoyed. Pity it did not have a more joyful ending. It would have been perfect! |

Great film. Poignant. Loved the way it left you hoping they'd meet but also left you wondering if they did! |

Wonderful film. Very beautiful, moving. Made one reflect on what is really important in life - being honest about your feelings. |

Not sure about the ending but the sensitivity & compassion of the script & the filming made it memorable. |

Great movie. The conversation between Illa and aunty was amusing. I wish the ending could have seen them meet in person at last! |

A nice look into a different style of life. Nice to be able to make up one's own ending. :-) Nice introduction. Could have done with subtitles for some of the English. Good choice. |

What a lovely film. I see why you showed it 2nd time. I loved the gentle relaxation of the man. Suspenseful end leaving you to guess! |

Loved it! Just the sort of thing I liked. It will provoke me into a lot of research into the places mentioned, the lunchbox system & countless more. If it makes me look at a map too it will have ticked all my boxes. I like learning about other countries. It's also great to not have to spend an evening locked in depression as the news is quite onerous at present! |

This was beautifully crafted but understated in its pace and impact. Its exploration of loneliness and human connection on many levels was very poignant but always told with a delicate and light touch. |

V. thoughtful, an essay on loneliness. |

Culturally intriguing but the romance was a Bombay Duck. |

Beautifully made. It was stunning! I was hoping for a happy ending - but it wasn't really sad - just different. |

It was a bit slow in parts but the sense of build-up of feeling was very well done. I enjoyed it very much. |

Thank you for a beautiful film. The emotions of the main characters were palpable. She was so beautiful I would have liked happiness for them both. |

I feel transported and enveloped in a different world - noisy but intensively emotional. Great cast who moved at a slow but intensely fast pace. Past member, tempted to renew. |

A slow film and left high & dry at the end. Not one of the best & not what I was expecting. |
