We Do Not Part is unbelievably, spectacularly beautiful. Han's writing, her pacing, the slow unspooling of characters and their stories - it's all perfect. It's quite visual and sensory, and it unfolds like watching an arthouse film, though I think any attempt to capture it in film would fall short.
