Standout Aspects

Acting

Magda Al Sabahi's eyes do ALL the talking.

Cinematography

Black and white frames repression like nobody's business.

Best for:Solo: Crying into your tea about professors you'll never have.·Date Night: If you want to argue about ethical boundaries afterward.
Heads up:Emotional: Unrequited love that metastasizes across a marriage. Ouch.
