“An intoxicating drama. Hamaguchi orchestrates the narrative with such a deft and delicate touch, that there’s always a hint of something more mysterious at play. His mastery is making you hang on every moment to see how he undercuts or develops on his thesis. It’s thrilling to try and guess where he’ll take the story next. His young stars serve him perfectly. This poignant treatise on love at first sight is one of the best films in the 2018 Cannes competition line-up.”
