Although this film has received a lot of negative press, i believe it potrayed an intimate tale of two people trying to make it work because they believe they can. While the film's temporality was at times difficult to follow, the film's rich characterization and natural writing compensated for what was lacking. The acting was outstanding. I had the impression that i was in that relationship, I could sense the stress and awkwardness. Overall, a very enjoyable film, particularly considering it is not a big budget production.
