Reminded me of what I liked about Stephen King's stories. It was not so much the plot or "horror" (if you actually read him, there is not that much of it, really). It's more about those little things in life. Those that we do not notice most of the time, until it's too late to even realize that they not only existed, but were integral to your life.
This movie is exactly that. There is, technically, and overarching plot, but it's minimal and secondary. There is definitely no "horror" or even "thriller". There is a small piece of "mystic", I'd say, but I would say it's almost inconsequential. It could have been replaced by a dream or a gut feeling or a scary story by gypsy prophet at a carnival. There is some weirdness in it, but... It's a special kind of weirdness.
Weirdness of spontaneity.
Although there is, technically, only one moment, which is truly spontaneous. The rest are more about little randomness, perhaps, reactions to other "bigger" stuff. But it's outstanding. It's the "intrusive thoughts won" kind of thing. Something, that most people would be embarrassed to do, but something, that more of us should, probably, be doing in general, and doing more. Giving in to the beat and dance... Or not, but still follow the beat in some way. A lot of other scenes are also filled with general idea that some things are not important, while others are. What you need is perspective to see them in correct light. Question is: will you find that perspective in time or not?
Despite all the philosophical stuff, the movie as a... Well, movie, is just "fine". There is nothing particularly damning in it, actors, both adults and children, play their roles well, cinematography, music and all that stuff is also good. But it's not good to become a movie of the year or a decade, just a very solid watch for one evening. Which actually meshes with the message of the movie itself: there are more important things to spend your time on.
