It's a beautiful film about relationships in the modern world. More about how broken we all are. About how we don't know what we want, and are always looking for more, which leads to no good. It's about a couple who meet on a dating app, who meet just for fun and no strings attached. It's about how they fall in love, and after a while when they get bored of each other, they try being open and it gets messy when one of them wants it to be closed. Until the both of them finally decide that they want to get serious. It's in the regular love story space, but the tone of the film is so good. The way it's shot is very interesting. Apart from feeling intimate, it also feels a bit dark and gloomy - perhaps to capture the brokenness in us.
Drake Doremus is known for his improvised shooting style, where he keeps the cameras rolling and let's the actors move around the space and perform however they want. That's how he shot Like Crazy (2011), not sure about this film because this is written by someone else. The beats of this film properly fit into the film for it to explore their character journeys. The girl in the first meet tells that she gets bored of things quickly, and it's essentially her coming-of-age story.
