The unraveling of the film was slow and plodding, we could see peaks and valleys but no crests. Nothing got resolved, ends with no conclusions. Perhaps that's the "style" the movie mimics but it provides no real satisfaction. At the end, I disliked all the main characters, not because of their shortcomings but because their stories came to an abrupt and unrequited end. It was hard to feel sympathy for any one of the leads or supporting roles. I never got the sense that Billie and Kofi really wanted, needed or were willing to work for their relationship, it felt like the, "meh" Sophia uttered after her and Kofi did the deed...was it meaningless or just a joke? It also had a genuinely disingenuious pretense running through the core...Kofi was belligerent and half-baked about his love for Billie, Sophia was desperate - did we ever believe that Kofi could be her saviour, or that Billie and her work colleague- love interest wasn't more than pure fantasy on the part of Billie? I never got the sense that any of these people really cared where their relationships might go or that they might end, except, of course, for Kofi who seemed hell-bent on saving a marriage that didn't matter. Weak story, decent acting considering the premise but could have lived without this story.
