The central theme or rather one of the main problems the characters face early on (that is a strain to any relationship),is something that fascinates me generally too. It's the psyche of people, what they think, how they act and what they would do for others, but to which effect and what cost? Some decisions are not easy to make at all.
Yet while there are many interesting factors, the movie does not really get a hold or grip on many things. Quite the opposite is the case. The ending is quite obscure and throwing in a lot of things to make something stick might work for some viewers, but this will rather annoy many audience members. It's not super bad but it never really engages you in any way, which also makes it something that is far from good and a real shame

Confused generation
There is no plot in this movie and this is not what is all about. It's only about a confused generation that takes everything for granted, that has the impression they don't need to think, they don't need to do anything but letting others imagine what they need and if the others don't imagine, they become upset that the world does not understand them. It's about people letting emotions take place over anything else: logic, society, connecting to other people. It is what people will become in tens of years from now.
Great but with a bit too much of everything.
The movie left me questioning if the later half of the storyline really happened or not. That is quite rare for me of a 21st century movie. This was no movie for a Marvel fan or a once-a-year-cinema type of person. This was a movie for the lover of cinematography and art. Becuase it really doesn't have an exciting storyline. It is all about how it makes you feel. It not only tells a love story, but let's us get in the minds of both protagonists; getting us to attach to them even more. Conclusion: If you don't like movies like Amelie, Totoro, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind; you probably wouldn't like this one either. It is a movie that's not afraid of being controversial and I believe that's what makes it a "hidden gem". I only recommend these types of movies to friends that have good taste in art-movies and has the cinema culture necessary to compare it to similar titles.
