(Coming back a literal year later, I realize what I like about this film: The couple. They seem like two quiet, shy people who somehow found each other, and that kind of thing appeals to me. They seem like kind people, and I really want things to work out for them despite the other stuff going on. I get a sense it was always destined to go a certain way, but you can hope for a little while.)

Do they not have jobs?? Seriously, what do either of them do? You can't say they work from home because nary a computer was in sight, let alone turned on. Also, while I think I can understand it in general, I'd like a synopsis explaining a few smaller details, as I couldn't make out a few things clearly.
In any case, I can see how people wouldn't like this, but it was perfect for me on a Friday after a long work week. The acting was fine, as was the "story." I didn't mind most of the artsy beginner camerawork, but they did too many extreme closeups for me. I get why, but it's unsettling being close enough to see excema and stretch marks (NOT shaming those things, just it's weird to be THAT close so often). Also, the music was annoying violins (?) screeching for a long time sometimes. And, as someone with misophonia, they were mic'd up a bit too well for my comfort. I cannot stand sounds like swallowing and eating, so that stuff drove me crazy. Finally, you have to suspend disbelief in a major way for a few things also, especially the action that kicks this whole thing off.
It's not bad for a first film, but it's 100% misclassified as horror.
