I watched it mainly, because I wanted to see Adrianne Palicki in a movie where she isn't the bad guy, the sexy action girl or the girl who gets barbequed by a demon, after two minutes screentime.
The actors do a stunning job, all of them.
It has amusing and interesting scenes, conversations, wisdoms.
The characters feel kind of real, I love Sunny's character trait to collect quotes.
The stories inside the story aka the short movies inside the long movie (the main guys short stories he writes about his issues) are a real highlight. It shows his insecurities in a very artistic way.
My problem is, that the relationship broke because of him. He slXtshamed her for being with four guys during a hard phase, while she was also intoxicated. He was jealous of her success. He was jealous about her old(!) and gay(!) Boss aka he accused her of sleeping with him until she tell him he is gay. He feels rejected when she doesn't want to have Sex, because of work. He acts out when she is talking to someone at the bar...he is very jealous and insecure. I really tried to find the problem on her side, if she did something wrong, but i couldn't find anything. Maybe that she worked more and made less time for him?
And they don't even work through their issues, neither has he learned anything from it or seeks therapy. It's frustrating and it makes the whole movie kind of... unnecessary. You really ask yourself what was the point of it. The character growth is missing.
You also realize, that the writer is a man. It's a lot about a man's insecurities, not really about the woman's.
One if the short movies is about a woman moving in with her new boyfriend and telling him about her past. She has hooked up with a lot of man, which makes the guy insecure. And that's the point.
A man always wants to be the first for the woman, while the woman wants to be the last for a man.
I think the protagonist should have seek therapy.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
