This one took a loooooong time to get going for me, but once it did it paid off in a fairly emotionally devastating way. The ending in particular lands in such a difficult but interesting way, telling us that none of the people whose stories we're watching survived. I don't have a lot of words to say about it, but it's a good movie and I'm glad I stuck with it long enough to appreciate it.
