Most rom-coms are 100% phony, and the few

Most rom-coms are 100% phony, and the few that aren't are 98% phony. This one doesn't feel phony at all. The plotline doesn't have any particularly original to offer, but then don't most relationships tend to follow a few timeworn paths? This movie shows that a straightforward portrayal of the common relationship joys and heartbreaks can be tremendously moving, even without a murder plot or a bunch of yelling and screaming. Zosia Mamet's tremendous performance brings the whole movie to life.

Plain character writing that's very generic. I couldn't

Plain character writing that's very generic. I couldn't stand the main character's hairstyle, and I know that doesn't matter but it bothered me a lot lmfao. Felt no depth for the characters and the plot was very predictable. Not worth the watch imo as it doesn't offer anything new or exciting.

What an honest little movie. It doesn't overreach

What an honest little movie. It doesn't overreach its small space it's able to occupy and it doesn't try to say anything besides the fact the idea of "not knowing" is hard. Uncertainty and the anxiety that surrounds that is something that permeates young adulthood and frankly, I haven't been able to shake it as I grow older. Maybe nobody does and people are just really good at looking sure of themselves. In any case, what Diana (Mamet) is so good at communicating is that while your life can be overall stable in the grand scheme of things - she's got a cool ass apartment, friends, she's beautiful - that sense of instability can be looking over your shoulder at any moment. It's funny to say as a late 30's married man, but Mamet was a warm hug of relatability in The Boy Downstairs and while its story isn't exactly unique, her charisma and the charm of this movie really won me over.
