This one had me hooked since I saw the trailer. With a beautiful rendition of Fools rush in by Ingrid Michaelson. This was a favorite at the Sundance Film Festival and for good reason. It reminds me of 500 days of summer as it is not a typical romance. It hits close to home because it deals with long distance relationships. It is apparent from the beginning that their relationship is wonderful but they will come across various struggles. I love Anna's poem because it foreshadows their whole relationships and struggles. In the trailer they cut the poem but is is beautiful either way.
Anna:
I thought I understood it, that I could grasp it, but I didn't, not
really. Only the smudgeness of it; the pink-slippered, all-containered,
semi-precious eagerness of it. I didn't realize it would sometimes be
more than whole, that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea. Because
it's the halves that halve you in half. I didn't know, don't know,
about the in-between bits; the gory bits of you, and the gory bits of
me.
This is one of those movies that deals with human relationships at the core and does it beautifully. Your will be empathetic and understand these two. The movie is beautiful and captivating and I highly recommend it. Although fair warning you might just cry.
