CGiii Comment

It won the Oscar...for best foreign film.

The LGBT interest is slight.

The character development is immense...controlled, mature and shocking.

It deserved its Oscar...for many reasons...it questions, it tackles complicity, it faces its demons...

How well do you know the person you're living with?
