See this movie if you need a break from hyperactive Hollywood hype with it's pat formulas and labyrinthian plots. It will soothe you in a weird way, i.e. Nobody is THAT lonely. It made my world seem crowded (which it isn't in actuality). I perceived it as an allegory for what lost love is like. It feels like the end of the world for those who lose their significant other, at least for a while. I experienced the same extreme sense of remoteness and isolation only once in my life and this movie is a very good depiction of that gestalt. In fact it's been more than eight years and l still feel that loss. Fortunately the feelings are not debilitating anymore. Routine activities did help! Luckily l moved on with my life and the feelings aren't.
