I watched this one in cinema, last December, while visiting The Netherlands. Not only was it an awesome day spent with my brother and his girlfriend, in a cinema in the city I studied film in ( with plenty of good memories attached to it ) and where I lived for almost 8 years, it was also one of the better films I've seen in a while, filled with a wide range of emotions and evoking those in the audience.

I agree with you that it certainly isn't an unforgettable film but I have no doubt that it's better than many US films that are nominated for an Academy Award this year.

Funny enough, I believe this is the only Oscar nomination for the year 2018 that I've seen so far. Mainly because I have hardly been able to go to the cinema last year. I hope to make up for this later this year when I plan to visit Coimbra, a Portuguese city at about 50 miles from my mountain village.

Keep it up! :>)
