Out of Season is a character-driven romantic drama that really hits the intended mark.
It features many poignant and melancholic moments but remains quite wistful and light-hearted throughout
There's a distinct "Before" vibe present, and Canet and Rohrwacher are really on top of their game here, bringing a nuanced portrayal of somewhat lonely characters getting washed away with nostalgic memories.It has been a long while since I have seen a touching romantic drama, and Hors-saison/Out of Season finds not only a decent balance between the elements but excels at being a mature and heartwarming feature.
