What I liked

The dynamic between the two actors was so impressive and believable. Stunning piano playing at the beginning to set the initial sorrowfulness. The writing was absolutely extraordinary and the themes they played with were so relevant – I was very moved.

What I didn't like

Perhaps there could be a clearer way of settling the ending (although there were no loose ends)

My overall impression

A beautifully written, dark story, riddled with cultural references and rich in emotional contrasts. An exploration of selfishness vs selflessness and dependence that flows masterfully and climaxes at exactly the right moment.
