UNITARY

The dialogue in this is fantastic, you can tell the writer really cared about these characters.

While the movie is quite modern (it even does a phone camera overlay), it reminds me a little of Wong Kar-wai. I don’t know if that’s due to cultural similarities, or if it really was inspired by his work.

Its in black and white, which is always great. I think this movie benefits from it greatly. I really wish other movies were in black and white more often, not everything needs color.
