Putting Look Back on the weekend list. How much attention does it need on a first watch?

Niamh, a film-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

Look Back is one I am weighing up. Keeping this on the list for a quieter evening rather than trying to squeeze it in.

Oisin, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

For anyone considering Look Back: This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.
