It has a nice feel to it - its got a dreamy sense to it too I thought. I liked hearing the stories about the characters past and seeing how they opened up to one another. This is an enjoyable and possibly somewhat poignant, if not overly memorable, film. I'd recommend it, yes.… Expand

The film seems to want to employ a lot of symbolism and such while also being naturalistic, but it doesn't really do either very well. It's full of "meaningful" looks that wouldn't be out of place on an episode of Neighbours.
Indeed, I got the sense that the film makers thought they were making something kinda deep, but it just felt pretentious and like a first project out of film school. I think I only got to the end because it looks like the kind of film I would like and find deeper meaning in, but I got there and found nothing.
The central performance was good, I found the actress to be a fairly compelling screen presence, but this may only be because of her mesmerising eyes, I look forward to seeing her again in something to find out. The other performances were also decent. However, because I cared so little about all of the characters, and the context of these performances is only suggested at most, the good work of the actors barely touched me emotionally or intellectually.
Overall it was a very disappointing experience. Critics seem to like it a lot; it's the kind of film I like. It was boring and empty and a waste of my time, and the more I think about it the more annoying it gets. Sorry.… Expand
