- TriviaThe production designers went to a great deal of trouble to make this film look like it was made in the era it was set, including avoiding quick edits, softening the colour palette and using a relevant font for the film credits.

Featured review
Unparalleled in 2023! Riveting study of courage, self, life and death.
I am floored. Got on a flight from SFO to Munich and settled in to watch the only academy award nominated film I had not seen last year. Kicking myself for waiting. This film grabbed me by the throat, lifted me up and slapped me back and forth at least 6 times! Bill Nighy was robbed at the Oscars. What a performance. And what an amazing and special film loaded with in-depths explorations of questions each of has or will confront ourselves with before we each reach the end of our own stories. Bravo to the screen writers and the art direction and glorious music. I was moved to tears at least 3 times and just as many other moments of happiness, triumph and satisfaction. What a special film. It is now my favorite film and I can't wait to re-watch it and direct every scene and every hidden message. Bravo!
