This movie is very slow and silent. I think some people could find it dull and boring, and when I think of it, maybe even illogical in some ways. But the cinematography and the style generally was, for me, totally overwhelming.

I think it definitely has some 'mistakes', I mean - maybe the real people wouldn't behave this way at those circumstances. But, if you are able to believe it, it will become a beautiful story.

As a strong fan of sad romantic movies, I must say that maybe I've seen better ones, but Ipsae has its own strength. It's possible - and probable - that it's main plot theme was used by someone, somewhere, before, but I have never seen it so far. And because it was quite innovative for me, I was moved.
