Not usually a fan of films that are structured like this but it really worked for me in this one. The non linear narrative showing a couple falling in and out of love was really sad. A really realistic view on relationships.
The final shot was incredible, it felt a little abrupt but I really loved the ending of the film.
It felt a bit slow overall and I wasn’t too invested in the story but the ending really hit hard.
The film was decent. Before watching I thought it was a Rom com and I wanted to watch something lighthearted. It had the opposite effect.
6.7/10
