There's a style to Miranda July's film. Love or hate her she has an undeniable presence and a unique style to her writing. There's not a lot to this movie but it's interesting enough. A couple wondering if they're bored of each other, their lives or perhaps both. I think I would have enjoyed a more balanced storyline for both characters. Hamish Linklater gets a bit lost in the mix somewhere in the middle and then is brought back to a but more importance later on.
There's some abstract elements to it and things open to interpretation which I had mixed feelings about. It presents the bulk of the film as fairly straightforward so it feels like a bit of cheat to really shift it into being more fantastical.
Overall, the performances make it worth seeing but the story never really comes together.
