The pacing in the first half is slow, but eventually the film picks up when it explores the pettiness of nostalgia and idealism, further elevated by its cinematography. I feel there could have been more beef on the plot beats surrounding class conflict and I wasn't too invested on the love triangle which leads into a pretty awkward ending, but the movie did well enough by me that I'd at least call it good.
