Not for everyone,

Photography as central

As story and plot.

In Columbus, Ohio,

Unlikely friendship.

Through a shared eye for beauty,

Each lets go of ghosts.

Harold with no White Castle,

A good performance.

Richardson’s is far better,

Authentic, heartfelt.

Serious roles, solemn film.

Gorgeous building shots,

Architecture lover’s dream.

A pleasant soundtrack,

Perfect in its subtlety.

Some might be bored but

Like browsing an art museum,

The long silences

Are for reflection and thought.

Might be slow at times,

A few plot holes and loose ends,

But worth the sensual escape.
