The thing is - there is no storyline.
It's just like life itself, things just happen. Sometimes there is a connection to something that happened earlier, sometimes there isn't.
Everyday family life, little things that make up a day, a week, a year. People grow, mature, get older.
Life itself.
I saw it last summer, I'd like to see it again if I get a chance.

Well said. I loved it too and hoped it would go on longer, which says a lot about the acting. It is definitely in my top five.

Well, "life itself" doesn't often get shown on film. Plus, it's still fiction. Maybe not uber-exciting, but it still feels real. And that's rare especially with Oscar nominations.

Thank you, Vincent and Paul, for explaining. :)
