I mean it as the highest compliment when I say that Slow feels like the less horny Normal People. A deconstruction of what the word “intimacy” means from top to bottom. The fact our leads’ careers are themselves rooted in deeply intimate spaces is no accident and the way those careers reflect their individualistic approaches to their relationship is so compelling to see. One who is all touch and fire and sweat and one who is all communication and tenderness and trust. How do they meld together? How does this work?

Their navigation of asexuality is so determinedly upfront and direct and that feels so refreshing from a representation standpoint. As someone who’s faked being horny more than feeling actually horny,…

We’re going to McDonalds.

Slow took my heart, coddled it, and then smashed into a million pieces— and I’d let it do it all over again. The silver screen incarnate of the heart knows what it wants versus the brain knowing it shouldn’t have it. That timeless battle we continue to wage because those fleeting moments of elation are worth eons of pain. 

Sometimes these explorations of the intricacies of love, intimacy, and sex can be tedious, even exhausting, but not in Slow, largely thanks to the otherworldly chemistry between the two leads.

I can’t apologize every time.

The director said she hopes the audience feels in love when they watch this and baby I do I really do

Captures intimacy in its barest form. The result is something almost dreamlike. I was mesmerized by this couple and how they communicated their love for each other. The songs were well used and the dances were just great. Acting felt so natural that I could not look away. Definitely one of my faves of the festival and a great way to end it.

tackling a theme of identity politics while ignoring the political zeitgeist aspects, and instead concentrating on the intimate drama and further implications of it. in other words: simply good cinema. the rough texture of the grainy 16mm film material and the construction of free, naturalistic characters let this one come organically to you. a wonderful little gem.

The first hour of this was SO GREAT…after that…ehhh… the asexuality was more a plot device than actually explored by the film, not to mention how it was constantly problematised. As someone who might be on the spectrum I felt so shit watching how the film treated the subject
