In short:
If you liked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) chances are more than good that you will like this one. It's simply a well crafted low budget movie.
There are usually less than a handful of these done every year, this is indeed one of those. And even though it contains clichés, it does have originality.
In longer:
It has alot of emotion woven in and a trembling performance that grows stronger towards the end by the lead.
Yes there are bad acting in it and it touches on come clichés, but it doesn't fall into them, neither does it become another Her (2013) (or earlier version on the subject). It feels very realistic and some of the detriments of the movie really plays into it well making the result alot stronger. If you got patience to look behind the initial flaws and to watch a slow paced drama you will be rewarded by how it is sewn together.
The cinematographical language is good, the use of lights is well done and the sound is well above anticipated. When it comes to the sideplot to the deeper story it isn't as well produced, but feels rather as a realistic depiction (doesn't disturb too much).
Pro's
Con's
- Clichés near the start might get many to put down the movie.
- A couple of moments could have differed.
- The "Casanova" sidestory was overdeveloped.
End notes:
Everyone dies as individuals, but you can die alone together.
