Trivia
In the beginning of the film, when Martine is on her way to Peter's house, the shot of her in the passenger seat mimics a similar scene in the French New Wave film 'Breathless' from 1960.

Quotes
Kolt: [poem to her Italian teacher] Sometimes there's a person who you know looks right. Their skin is fine, like a linen cloth, and their hair is the color of night. And they walk. And when they walk, that walk makes ladies turn to their window and admire. All the ladies in the town, with their secret things that they want. You were this man, in the town from which you came. But this - this is not your town. And when you speak, your words are snakes I swat at with swords. They crawl into parts of me, and I kill them with kindness I can't afford. I see you with the accurate eyes of the sun. You think you're imprinting yourself in my memory, a man with the power to teach. You will never have anything or anyone you want. Least of all, me. If I were to tell my mother and the others, we would laugh at you, louder than we have all along.

A film that just didn't seem to go anywhere.

You know when someone is telling you a story and you're kinda into it, wondering when it's gonna get good, and then they just stop talking? And you're just like "uhh, you're done?"

That is what this film is. Not gonna lie, I was above averagely interested in the plot, and was interested in the film mainly because I wanted to see one of my favorite actors try to play someone other than Jim Halpert. It may take John Krasinski a bit of work to be able to drop his "Jim" persona, of which I didn't see much in this film, so good job there.

I would like to commend the young actress who took on this film and turned it into something that wasn't a complete waste of time. I would never be interested in watching this film again, but I won't say it was an offense to the film world.

Overall, just skip it. You don't get any insight into life, you don't come away with anything, you don't really care about the characters, but if you have or had a life that was plagued with promiscuity, you might be able to relate, but also may be repulsed by some of the characters.
