Real and deep

Most movies with multiple stories are shallow even if well acted. The script, acting, and stories are all emotional - sharing life at a precipice of sorts, a turning point, where emotions and feelings change. As those of us who have lived a bit, those turning points are often revealing and emotional, and change our outlook.Some reviews of this moving denied the reality of life's challenges - this is not a film of Disney characters or where a Marvel character saves the world - just super acting by many superb actors in emotional scenes.Whether it be seeing a divorced dad with a son he doesn't know or reliving painful memories or living painful lives, I applaud the directing of diverse stories with a similar tenor : life's challenges being shown and felt.

As a fan of Short Stories, I enjoyed this movie..its long and the stories aren't connected. Be warned.

Each story is life a glimpse of various people's lives. Great acting, directing and cinematography in most stories. Its very long at 3 hours. It is somewhat dark. So watch it when in a good mood lol.

The format of short stories told via film is very intriguing to me. But if you are expecting a traditional movie with protagonists and antagonists that develop over one main story line and concludes with a clear message or meaning, well this film will only disappoint you.
