Characters Become Too Unlikable

In this relationship drama, Dianne (Olivia Thirlby) and Henry (Ben Feldman) have been living together for six years. However, when serious thought is given to marriage they will begin to engage in very destructive actions that certainly will put everything they've built up in jeopardy.

The filmmaker here, Rafael Palacio Illingworth, I imagine is asking the audience to somehow emotionally connect and feel for these characters. However for me, they became so unlikable that I wasn't able to really care about them.

Look for a number of known actors throughout the movie, some with cameos while others more substantial roles. There's lots of raw language, some nudity, as well as some explicit sex scenes and references in the film.

Overall, as mentioned, I could never connect with these characters and thus did not really enjoy the movie. Also, the rather ambiguous ending did not help very much either.

Impeccable casting, still a head-scratcher @ the end...

... don't just watch it once

... five years have passed since first watched this film... barely remembered it at all from the first viewing... this time around enjoyed it very much more, as much as one can "enjoy" seeing-rapid-disintegration of a six-year-committed-relationship

... can you 'love'-someone once-serious-doubts-surface, then-heading-out separate-ways, expressly for the purpose of-hooking-up, and when your first-choice is-made-unavailable, later in-your-apartment (sans-brand-new-hubby), you sofa-bed-a-guy encountered-couple-hours-earlier... her-raw-demeanor-dialogue during-n-after-sex, is-explicit-confirmation no-way it-should-have-taken six years getting to that point

... all the well-chosen-cast really-doing-good-work... look forward to watching it again... in less than five years time... and be sure to read Clare Clarke's well-written-review at The Panoptic.
