Started out really great and full of laughs. It felt refreshing and a solid directorial effort by Simon Bird.
The Belle and Sebastian songs really helped with the vibe of it. The two leads had good chemistry, and managed to balance tender moments, with dramatic ones, and dry comedy.
Things lost momentum as it went on though. The slice of life elements started to wear thin, and the depressive angst just became a bit tiresome. I wasn't a fan of a particular development involving a certain animal.
But nevertheless, it was unique, succeeded in some laughs and was an alright way to spend 80-something minutes.
