Beautiful movie
Telling a story can serve several purposes: propaganda, entertainment and make us think about existential issues. Most people are just looking for entertainment, which is not a problem in itself. But you can't expect every movie to have an impactful scene in the first 15 minutes, a fast pace or a big turnaround near the end, to get the viewer's attention. "What We Wanted" is a good example of a good movie that people miss because they just don't want to see "slow movies". This is a beautiful drama film, very well directed, beautiful in its delicacy, in its sensitivity, in its rawness, in its reality, in its sadness, with excellent performances, with special emphasis on the performance of Lavinia Wilson and the little Iva Höpperger.
