When, having spent years in Sweden, Jean returns to Thailand, she is offered a job – subject to the condition that she has an office of her own. She decides to radically declutter, in Marie Kondo-style, the packed family home she shares with her mother and brother and transform it into a minimalist zone. But this meets with resistance from her family as well as emotional obstacles; it seems she can't just throw everything out. So instead she decides to return everything she once borrowed from others – including her ex-boyfriend. This becomes a cathartic, painful process that gives rise to beautiful memories, unexpected emotions and new insights. Like the house she is aiming for, the camera follows Jean in a calm, restrained style, paying loving attention to details and the complex inner world of the characters. This sensitive drama is lightened by moments of self-parody, discomfiture and sudden eruptions. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)

There are few things I dislike more in a movie than a pompous main character. And this one manages to pull it off incredibly well. Perfectly lifeless, no energy, no spark, just her own vision that the rest of her family won't indulge. Yet at times, when she starts to resemble a human, she's a lot more bearable. Sunny, my favorite Thai, took his time getting on the scene, and when it finally happened, he didn't get a chance to act properly. I like the subject matter, minimalism and its pros and cons is a hot topic, but it's a great shame that the film doesn't evoke the "sparking joy" that Marie Kondo talks so much about, which is referenced a few times in the film.
