Such a heartfelt, well-acted film with this charming, nostalgic vibe that really got to me. As someone who's studied human behavior and emotions, I was fascinated by how the film captured the nuances of relationships and personal struggles.
The portrayal of the shy, unsure character searching for love felt so real, and the dynamic with the popular but deeply conflicted love interest was just... wow. The side characters added so much life to the story, making the whole world feel authentic and layered.
One scene that stood out for me was the one in the park with the music. It hit this perfect balance of joy and pain-these two men, both in their 30s, just lost in each other, completely in the moment. It was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. The chemistry between the actors was undeniable, and the music made their connection feel even more powerful. You could feel every emotion, and it stayed with me long after the scene ended.
This film has definitely become one of my favorites in this genre. It's just behind Get Real for me, which had a more personal impact, but All the Men I Met But Never Dated still left me thinking deeply about love, connection, and the human experience. Get Real might have changed my life, but this film took that feeling and added new layers to it.
I'd give this film a solid 7/10. It's a beautifully crafted story that I'll remember for a long time. (And yeah, I never give a 10-gotta keep some space for the next masterpiece!)
