First of all the cast was so promising : Fred Armisen, Ego Nwodim, Alison Brie, Ben Sinclair, Aubrey Plaza and Zach Woods. Instant interest only by reading the cast.
The story is written in a way that toys with tropes such as rom-com and thriller. You don't understand quite well where the story is headed.
I feel kind like it could have been a much better movie, especially because it starts off so strong and funny. Every character finds his place well and quickly within the group dynamic, only for the dynamic to radically shift, leaving us a bit confused and maybe frustrated.
I love when a movie criticizes corporate culture in an intelligent way.
I think the goal the writers wanted to achieve was a more personal and intimate exploration of feelings. I don't feel like the second part's writing is achieved as well as the first.
The ending is satisfying because it wraps the storyline in a neat way, but leaves us with a weird feeling.
I empathised a lot with Alison Brie's character, who is the most relatable, but too many scenaristic choices left me frustrated.
In the end, I think it's a story about self-confidence and especially the courage to look at your life and appreciate what you have, versus what you dream you could have. Being unwell with yourself will make you fall prey to toxic people. Screw them and learn to be happy with the person you are and the life you've built for yourself.
