The fact that someone actually was able to make a film about dating during a pandemic while a pandemic was actually going on is a major accomplishment.
That the film was shot in one day makes this achievement even more worthy of praise.
The development of the protagonist's relationship with a potential lover during what appears to have been a blind date is well crafted but relatively brief and open-ended. It is, as is explained, a logical outgrowth of her new job and her new apartment.
The about face of the narrative stream which abruptly occurs towards the end of the film is also very well done simply because it was so unexpected.
But given the five or so minutes allowed for development, the prospect of any true emotional engagement on the part of the viewer was drastically and in fact irrevocably prevented.
Yes, one feels for the not-all-the-full-of-self-confidence protagonist. But even ten or fifteen minutes would have allowed the story arc to have resonated much more strongly.
Maybe one should not shoot so high when one has a very small bow and arrow.
