Is it good though? I'm kind of getting tired of movies that put technical achievements above storytelling and acting. Will peep though

It actually is that good. Hell, I would never praise a movie for just being technically impressive if I didn't think it was truly that good, unlike certain bird-watchers.
In this case the single take shooting style actually helps strengthen the storytelling because while the story is pretty simple and straight forward you get a much stronger connection with the characters as it feels like you're with them on this journey the entire time. I've seen some reviews call out some of the dubious character actions, especially as the movie reaches the second half, but to me it all fit into the narrative since they establish early on what drives the characters and then basically forces you to accept that they're going to act on that drive against better judgment.
I've already said my piece on the acting but again, there are occasions where you can tell it's improv but even the parts where it's obvious aren't holding the movie back because the chemistry and all-around acting is top notch.
I respect your opinion on movies so I'll peep, I just was wary since the technical feat seemed to be the selling point. I don't mind improv being obvious if the story is engaging enough. It might add to the quality actually.

They oversell it a bit in the trailer but I do feel it's fair because it does add to the experience.

Today was the last time theaters were showing it so I had to catch it. Can't remember the last time I went to see a movie twice that I actually had to pay full admission for. 
Brokeback Mountain maybe?
Anyway, still awe-inspiring flick. Frederick Lau and Laia Costa are such fukking talents, I think the second time around they impressed me even more than they did the first time.
Btw, it drops in limited theaters next week, although knowing how much disrespect arthouse gets in the US it'll probably be in like 12 theaters at best.
Never seen it.
