Twitter Capsule: Hello, first love! Adores music, characters without wholly sentimentalizing them. A canny group portrait, intimate yet aloof.

VOR:   Hansen-Løve pushes her sensitive, domestic chronicles toward a more expansive scale and achieves emotional connection through music that seems to thwart it. Crafty if not groundbreaking.
