the main characters are actually so dislike-able that they made me feel better about myself
Semi cute naive indie guy and stubborn abusive girl face conflict after dating for 6 years. Two were so pale the sex scenes literally looked like two pieces of bread rubbed against each other.
i enjoyed this for what it is (the everyone-over-25-knows-this-already story of disintegrating puppy love), but what the improvised approach gains in broad emotional authenticity it sacrifices in specificity... it's true that every romance only feels like it's being lived for the first time, but if the movie doesn't provide the immediacy of real life, that's not much of a consolation.
When it ended, I was sure there was another 30 minutes left. It feels like they haven't finished shooting yet. It's not the lack of resolution that bugs me, it's the lack of distinct plot beats. It's basically the same series of events 3 times with minor escalation and then it ends.
Taissa Farmiga is very good, the cinematography is attractive (if awash in soft focus and gray-blue colors) and I like that the anti-narrative take on relationship drama, but nothing feels sufficiently explored.
It's one of those movies you scroll past on Netflix every time until you finally watch it one day because of boredom, hoping it'll be good; Only to find out that it's exactly the forgettable movie you expected it would be.
Começa tão hmmm OK pode ser que role. Não precisava daquilo. E depois não precisava daquilo também. E podia ter um pouco mais daquilo (construção da protagonista). Enfim. Dor.

cuando terminó pensé que debería haber más porque sentí que faltaba algo. Pienso que el tema a tratar es real y bueno, aunque hasta recién creía que no supieron cómo abordarlo, quizás por un lado sea así pero cambié un poco de parecer porque acabo de leer una reseña en inglés planteando que el final debía ser inconcluso como lo fue, debido que lo que se quería transmitir era eso mismo precisamente, y es que además en la vida también hay grises y no todo debe ser blanco o negro.
Por otro lado, cada escena en sí parecen casos aislados que no llevan a nada, pero al contrario, se demuestra que a pesar de haber mantenido una relación por seis…
