There's no mercy in matters of love
8 February 2023
If you do not enjoy watching the portrayal of toxic mind games, you should probably avoid this film. But here's a few things you can get by watching it.

1. Brilliant dialogue with simple and clever lines. The writer is really good at revealing the context through the dialogue.

2. Great acting with a mixture of pro and amateur actors.

3. Sad but captivating stories about relationships that are supposed to provide the daily dose of emotional support (parent-child, companions, lovers), but only deliver rage and despair. Funny thing, the only harmonic couple in the movie is one that is not united by love, but rather the feeling of loss, and the appetite for revenge.

4. Really intimate camerawork showing mostly closeups, which is probably due to the low budget of the movie, but works well with the topic, because it creates a claustrophobic atmosphere.

Overall, an excellent film about loneliness, and the daily struggle with finding some meaning in life.
