ambitious albeit a bit amateurish
onreact4 January 2023
An ambitious albeit a bit amateurish movie about death, populated by awkward characters. Not for everybody, just a specific type of audience, not sure I'm part of it. I watched till the end though.

So if you like quirky indie movies and do not shy away from difficult topics you may want to watch it. There is a love story in it, which besides the unique background of the girl (you may be surprised by that one unless you read a summary or something) is relatively sweet and innocent, but sadly doomed by time-constraints.

Some scenes look literally staged though and some of the supporting characters seem to be utterly redundant (the boss, the nerd friend) as they do not really intertwine with the main story. So when watching them act you may wonder why you witness their antics really. Especially the boss is merely annoying most of the time. I wasn't sure. Maybe I was too sick myself while watching this movie and expected something more uplifting. The message seems to be there but it was a bit too bland to finally arrive at it.
