7/10
Excellent story for awhile

Warning: Spoilers
This films exceptionally well done as it leaves out so much of what films today do not, music at every moment and constant dramas. Instead we get a fresh perspective on two people, one that wants to be a loner and escape and another that sorta/kinda doesn't want to but is a loner non-the-less.

Honestly his life didn't seem so terrible that he would end it, which is the final outcome of the film. However it's unclear if he off'd himself or it was a natural death, I would say natural in my opinion except for his letter to her which pretty much says it all. Of course the letter is all about giving her his place only for her to leave it! Irony! The only real issue I have with this film is, well OK more than one: 1. He doesn't sleep with her when she offers herself. Unbelievable since he clearly had been wanting to the entire film, and what man would not want too I mean dear lord.

2. He off's himself for no real reason (we are aware of) however based on the trend in the film of him slowly letting her move closer it makes no sense at all, none. I'm offended and annoyed they went the easy route instead of tying up all the loose ends in this movie. I mean seriously what normally would've happened is they begin to feel something romantic for each other, and we learn more about who they are, finally they end up together, perhaps cliché but still a brighter end than this film makes things out to be. Her alone anyway in that crummy apartment abandoning his stuff for god knows whom to pillage! Some would say a movie that makes you talk is great, this sure will do that for you let me tell ya. But I would have ended it on a happy note, why not? And he wasn't that OLD OK so it's not really crazy to expect they'd end up together. Alright bye!
