SPOILER ALERT!
Even though I am a guy my favorite genre is romance. I selected this movie as it was labeled a romantic movie by Netflix. Well, it's not. Sure, the guy and the girl get together in the end, but they have no interaction throughout the movie whatsoever.
The movie centers on a girl who has selective seeing. You've heard of selective hearing, right? You tell your kid to stop watching TV and go do their homework and they ignore you. Well, this girl cannot see her mother causing her to believe her mother is dead. She also cannot see the man who becomes her love interest.
The movie does very little to explain how or why she got this affliction. She witnessed her mother in a car accident when she was a child. Maybe that was a mental trauma which caused her brain to block out her mother, but there was no tragic event that happened to cause her to block out her love interest. In fact, it was a traumatic even that caused her to see him. It makes no sense whatsoever, and that bugs the crap out of me.
In the end she sees her love interest. He attempts suicide by slitting his wrist and she takes him to the ER. The movie ends with her meeting him face to face. It would have been nice if this "dealing" moment for her would have cause her to see her mother, but the writer and director of the movie didn't think to add that it making this movie a waste of 90 minutes of my life.
