This is a strangely beautiful and funny movie to watch, don't let the rating put you off watching it. (not perfect, but it is most definitely great)
I watched this movie without reading critiques, reviews or ratings on it and it blew me away. I'm so used to relying on IMDB ratings to choose what I watch that I trust them blindly, but they can be very misleading. I realize now that watching a movie without external influence (bias) makes the experience purer and more enjoyable.
This movie is rather good. Unusual plot and characters put in a rather familiar environment, picturesque settings, tear jerkers and a lot of fun. Upon reflection I appreciate this movie in the same way I appreciated "The Life of Pi" - an exacerbated or altered story which makes it fun to watch and harsh to reflect upon.
This is a story about the human need for company, be it family, a friend or a lover we all need someone to pull us out of that dark place we go to sometimes. For him the trauma and escapism, for her depression, for me nihilism.
