Didn't think this was nearly as bad as some of the reviews here have made it out to be.
Not to say I enjoyed it, but I was never bored and it actually shifted into quite an intriguing direction once we got to the final medium scene.

Creepy.

Sigmund Freud would have a party with it.

Clever use of the thoroughly intoxicating title track. Like the lead character, I never tired of it even once.

The beginning was confusing and almost annoying but it quickly started to make sense after 30min.
It is well written, well played, and more moving than I thought it would be. The crazyness of losing the loved one, seing them to love someone else, is really well spread: depression, behaviour change, hatred, sacrifice... It was a good surprise as the trailer didn't make me want to watch the film.
A bit too long though.
7/10

I watched this today. Its a film about love alright but not as coy as i had initially perceived it be. It was about various types of love. parental, sexual, soulful and....dangerous obsession.

I agree with Octopus, it was terribly confusing in the first half hour but i figured it will all come together and surley it did. its a real jigsaw type editting and I dont blame others for getting put off. I just went with the flow. Its an admirable film and I enjoyed it especially its intriguing conclusion. Not sure if i agree with its message but its certainly a clearcut one.

7/10

Do you have a VR headset? If so, maybe we can play a physical sports game or even be sports/fitness partners, hit me up if you keen.
