It's pretty creative in terms of shooting around the lockdown and telling the story of a lockdown romance. Lockdown was a pretty bizarre time period, when even people who live nearby, ended up in what can only be described as long distance friendships and relationships. This captures that atmosphere well.

A bit campy and cheesy, yes, but there's something here that's quite heartwarming. Two characters growing together while in isolation. Old biases and hangups around dating challenged. An exploration of what matters more, what's on the inside or what's on the outside. Transactional relationships vs a real human connection.

I'm a bit of a psychology nerd, so I decided to give this a shot. A bit campy and cheesy, yes. But surprisingly a great take on the psychological theories of 'Internal Family Systems' and 'Personality Fragmentation' using the RomCom format, and terms the average person recognizes like multiple personalities, even though its existence is hotly debated.

Found it to be a welcome break from all the horror and thriller movies constantly villanizing people with mental illness. Highly recommend the book 'No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard C. Schwartz' to anyone who enjoyed this.

If they actually do the sequel, I really hope they introduce an IFS therapist character, instead of the hypnotherapist guy, and really explore all the different personality fragments, and get to the source of the trauma, which led to her fragmentation. Would be fun to really see her get better and become a more functional and integrated person.
