I see more relationship dramas in my work than I would like and none of them affected me this year like the Austrian film Was wir wollten (Netflix). Ulrike Kofler's intelligent and elegantly-filmed debut about how difficult it sometimes is to burn bridges and live with the feeling that something essential is missing. It's not depressing - it has the lightness and ironic edge of Maren Ade's films. Even the sentiment works here, because it is not an escape from problems, but rather an essential part of them. This film is a candidate for my top 10 films of this year.
