★★★★☆
“Film is an empathy machine… or rather, it was, until virtual reality came along. Because instead of merely watching, VR lets you step into another person’s world. That this can create not only ultimate compassion but also true art is proven by directors Kate Voet and Victor Maes in A Long Goodbye.“
