Viewers find 'Out of Season' a touching yet melancholic exploration of rekindled romance set in a serene thalassotherapy center. The film is praised for its poetic and intimate portrayal of former lovers grappling with past and present emotions, underscored by beautiful cinematography and a haunting score. However, some find the pacing slow and the narrative occasionally indulgent in its own sadness, making the viewing experience somewhat tedious for those less inclined towards introspective dramas.
👍 Alba Rohrwacher's performance is deeply moving.
👎 The film's slow pace may not appeal to everyone.
