This film probably won't change the world. It doesn't contain life-altering wisdom or beautiful moments of insight. It is a very restrained, very subtle piece, essentially a two-handed stage play, with a pair of talented actors delivering understated performances.
This is a double-edged sword. The down-to-earth realism means that the story drifts quietly along, as do the characters, before just kind of ending. This allows for some real moments of introspection, pause, and stillness (true things, one might say), but unfortunately it does leave a slightly pedestrian and forgettable impression. But maybe that isn't a bad thing for these types of films? I'd be interested to come back in a few years and see whether the impression has changed at all.

A Reflective Meditation
Worse than bad ? I've seen a lot worse......
I liked this film.......it has haunted me since I saw it.... Haven't we all in our time become obsessed with a totally unsuitable boy or girl ? Ruth Wilson plays the " should I text him or should I not " character really well.... Probably this film is suited for for a TV watch than a cinema outing, but held my attention none the less.
I've got to run - see you !
Worse than bad
So there are those movies, that are really bad and you instantly hate them or they even become successful and famous for how bad they are, like The Room. This movie here has good moments, but then drifts into nothingness and this will be a movie I probably wont remember at all in a few weeks.
