It has all the appearances of a romantic comedy with indie sensibilities but never accepts those trappings and builds up more underlying themes of relationships and human flaws that are stunningly quirky and funny while also finding a striking balance into something darker and more heartwrenching. Zoe Kazan has written a very broad and bright character for herself and she shines with warmth and brings in her real life boyfriend Paul Dano, in a one great performance and they share the incredibly strong chemistry needed to pull it all off. A rather wonderful little film, simply put. Quite the creative being as well when you really think about the little details.
