Little bit of strange, that this has comedy genre attached to it, when there is really nothing funny about this movie. Awkward - sure, stupid - maybe, but funny? Not really. It's mostly just a character study of a sociopath, but it fails at that too, since towards the end, you don't really know that much more about the main character as you knew in the beginning.
I still kinda liked the movie, I think if you are able to enjoy movies about sociopaths like for example "The Fanatic" , then you'll be able to enjoy this one too.

I watched it tonight. Glad I stayed with it. Enjoyed the characters, cast and soundtrack and it's not your high dollar Hollywood film.
My only criticisms are the slow pace and not a lot of character back story. But, hey, I know what I like.

This film tells the story of a socially awkward man, whose girlfriend of ten years left him suddenly. He tries to live his life as normal, but his life is anything but normal.
Honestly, the first ten minutes of the film is already horrible. The protagonist is such an socially awkward man, and he just does not know how to be around people. The film itself is super awkward as well, as there are dialogs such as a man saying "I need you", then the woman replies "my sister is double parking". This type of illogical conversation happens constantly in the film. The dialogs are so ridiculous and logically unconnected, that the plot just makes no sense. I do not find the film funny, engaging or sympathetic at all. It is a waste of my time, and my poorly informed decision to have watched this film.

This had a point and nailed it. Nothing but dry completely over the top, 'those' people you may know in a less than functional, paint eating, middle and faux-upper 'modern/arty' society.
Oy vey, hurts but no regrets.
It's difficult to rate this movie as for me I'd give an 8 as I was really amused throughout. A score for a wider audience would be much lower as it's quite a divisive film. I think the film is trying to make fun of the pretentiousness and self- absorbed nature of the characters, and one of the ways is by filming in an arch, avante garde manner. The style reminded me a lot of Yorgos Lanthimos in the way characters dispassionately speak past each other and the rather surreal nature of a lot of scenes. Most of the characters aren't particularly likable or relatable but that's good in my opinion. Why should a character in a movie be relatable to my life?, and it's the bad or unlikable characters that are the most interesting in a film. That's not to say the characters are bad, just rather solipsistic.
