Madam D @Madam1948 Sep 5 Despite being a pretty silly plot, the acting is good and the reality of just being yourself very worthwhile. See more Hannah D @RT04951750 02/02/2025 I am on a Jake Johnson binge right now after binging New Girl for the first time and this film was next on my list. Initially, I only watched it to support Jake but as the film started and went on, I really got invested. I thought Zoe Kazan was incredible, not only at playing two very different women, but also at playing one woman trying to be two women at once. Laurel was a sweet, silly, awkward, and passionate mess that made the film worth watching. Seeing her inner torment and watching her try to adapt to a life she knows nothing about was heartbreaking and comical all in one. Jake Johnson playing opposite Zoe Kazan as the sweet, sarcastic, handsome neighbour, Basel, was a delight to watch. I thought his performance was top notch and I'm realising not many actors out there can play 'longing and yearning' quite like him. He truly is a versatile and talented actor, and Zoe was amazing and lit up the screen with her powerful portrayal of a grieving sister trying to move on with a life she doesn't know anything about. Though it is not a well-known film, it has quickly risen to one I put on my Annual-Rewatch list. Very beautiful, very sweet, very heart wrenching, and very, very good. Five stars from me! Well done! <3 See more Aida M @RT46270233 08/17/2024 I expected more out of it, too slow, dragging, predictable. See more 01/12/2022 Despite what others have rated I thought this was a Great feel good Movie. I Would classify this film to be a Dark Comedy. I found Zoe Kazan and Jake Johnsons relationship to be comical, Adorable and the highlight of the movie. I will definitely watch again in the future.

It is sad but uplifting at the same time. The beginning scene is a bit awkward but shows just how lost she really is. See more Read all reviews
