Characters Become Too Unlikable
16 June 2017
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.
