I am inclined to like stories that are female centered. There are so many wonderful stories that need to be told. This is one of them. I am attracted to stories of female empowerment, and given the time and place, the principals in this story are far from empowered. In spite of the cultural norms, they found a way to empower themselves. It is a genuine joy to watch that unfold with so much grace and love.
In addition to the story, the acting is fantastically understated. The acting and the direction had to be impeccable to tell the story the way it needed to be told.
I am also moved by art. The graphic arts less so than the musical arts, and this story created a deeply emotional subtext by using the power that those artistic expressions brings to the human experience.
