Screenplay: Ira Sachs and Mauricio Zacarias. Twitter Capsule:
Sachs' odd rhythms, sophisticated sympathies as savory as ever. Some subplots, characters get weirdly short shrift.
Second Capsule:
Even more moving and precisely etched second time through. Meticulous details in performances, editing, costumes.
VOR:④
Rich character drama nimbly informed by politics. Homage to earlier films that doesn't just repeat them. Formidable acting showcase. Impressive in all technical respects.
