Will L @Will05 Mar 8 Worth a watch and definitely well directed. The relationship which the movie follows parallels the larger layout of the movie which is a nice touch that I can’t go to in detail on without spoiling. But… I think the message falls short a little. For a movie that was so close to doing something new and unexpected, it really ends up with the same trite message as every other r romance.

Chloe Grace Moretz, although still a child at the time, stole every scene she is in. Not at all the movie I was expecting to see. However, it did capture the ability of women to be heartless.

This film succeeds in showcasing both the highs and lows of relationships over the course of 500 days presented here in random order. Watching this film I often had the been there done that realization of how true to life the story is in comparison to my own experiences. Outstanding lead actors and also great music within.

See more retro b @retrobite Feb 1 A work that portrays urban alienation in its purest state. Tom designs cards for a corporation that commodifies feelings; his vision of love is equally extractivist. He needs her to be unattainable to keep his desire functioning. Did you see the karaoke scene? Desire is always the desire of the Other. What he hates in the end is not that she left him, but that she proved to have a desire of her own that does not include him. It is a decoration of heartbreak made to be digestible for the aspirational middle class; the tragedy of form over life. True love tears your skin off; it doesn't have you listening to The Smiths while you cry in a glass elevator. Open the windows and let the dirty street air in, because this movie smells like cheap mall perfume! See more Lily M @lilixxmoon Jan 26 An unexpected film that turns many of the romantic comedy tropes on it's head. Great chemistry between Zooey and Joseph Gordon Levitt. Stellar soundtrack. Quirky and surprisingly more depth that you would expect. So many viewers have a different take on the film and I think that is a feat in itself as a testament to it's genius. It's a film that viewers continue to analyze and encourages a discussion on the evolving landscape of relationships, breakups, and romance for the millennial generation. It's nuanced but clever. Witty but flawed. Charming but eye rolling at times all at the same time. I highly recommend anyone watch this film in its entirety and not just stick to the short tiktok reels out there.
