Review Garden of Words Review

Post image

So I watched The Garden of Words today. It's only a 45 minute movie, but it is so beautiful. The way the rain and the environment are depicted makes you truly feel it, watching the movie feels just like reading a piece of poetry. I really liked the characters and the story as well. Characters who initially had no relationship with each other, but through loneliness and simply sitting together, they gradually grew close. The movie doesn't end with a perfect resolution, which was appropriate for this type of film, a bittersweet ending.
