not Hollywood.

I really enjoyed the artistry of the film. The lighting was beautiful--think of the bedroom scene where Stefania is holding her stomach looking out of the window. And of course I could reference a whole slew of other scenes that display this, but you need to watch the movie to appreciate it!
The normalcy of the movie makes it. This is not a "riveting drama" or anything of the sort. To me, it was all too real.
