...sometimes I check the critics notes and see that mostly are "pop corn eaters"
I mean, they cannot get it all the stuff going on in some movies like this.
First, the director did a great job. Very freshly work with the camera without being pretentious. The right mix between artsy, technical and indie.
With Grey/Blueish matte palette is showing the mood of the story; one that evolves whenever the plot is developing.
What in first instance looks like a comedy suddenly transform as a drama; a very common one I must add.
Not only about a love or obsession (for a person that had only few dialogs interchanges with the crush...)
but more of those worlds that are in our minds and the interaction with the real people outside and beyond ourselves.
Those mental barriers that some persons have making difficult relationships and communication in general. Even worse now with all these "social net crap" flooding and consuming great percentages of people time and mind. Yes, a great fortress (around your mind and heart); you can be safe there but what happens in the real life? Is not the internet real now? I am afraid not.
-Great development of the story where you can see what mental process (do not forget the camera work in this process) the main character is doing to "wake up" to a new (might be) comfortable new life; a life where some one have a feeling for you and that s not a little thing in this time where mostly walk like mutants and only block down their barriers when they are alone (with loneliness most of the times) in their homes
