"Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Time" is a lovely visit to a Budapest that yields its secrets more willingly than the sad, repressed woman at the story's center.

Sadly, the reveal here is quite banal, which retroactively makes the film as a whole play like a prolonged, unsatisfying tease.

As its delightfully loquacious title suggests, "Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time" is both methodical and enigmatic. It's a movie that sees no real contradiction between the rational and irrational, only degrees of difference.

A beautiful and acute rendering of what could be if some of the most implausible lies we tell ourselves were in fact true.
January 22, 2021 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
The reveal isn't equal to the buildup. Yet you've still had the experience of being taken in -- much more in a good way than a bad one -- by a gifted filmmaker wielding cinema's seductive power.

The film is reminiscent of works by Krzysztof Kieślowski and Claire Denis, and the noir-tinged cinematography by Róbert Maly adds much to the mystery.
