    Thumbs up

    Original, funny, clever, educating, entertaining with some nudity and sex scenes to spice it up. Nice soundtrack. Berta Vázquez is gorgeous ( Ukrainian mother/Ethiopian father). The best thing that happened to her was to be adopted (???) at the age of 3 by a Spain' family. She escaped extreme poverty of 90s and racism in Ukraine. The whole story is a mystery, but her clever mother did the right thing. I recommend this film. It might not appeal to the older generations.

    To get a glimpse of what it is like for a black (mixed) child to grow up in Russia or Ukraine, watch "Gagarin's Grandson", 2007. A comedy with tragic notes and heart breaking open ending.

    part two?

    It is quite a good and educative way to explain what we call love and affection. It was demonstrated with charming characters in a way that anybody can relate. I also loved the animations and documentariesque scenes.

    Original Take

    The movie certainly has an original concept, namely explaining human relationships through physics, and the way it's shot is different and fresh.

    The story is also not bad. Although not very original, it shows us the beauty as a relatively sympathetic person, sorely misunderstood by our protagonist. This is a welcome departure from the standard of nerds being portrayed as the perpetual good guys, always misused by vapid beauties..

    But what seems to be the movies strengths, are ultimately also the causes of it's problems Namely the big problem of pacing is partially owed to constructing the story in this extremely nonlinear mock documentary, which simply kills the tempo of the film. Secondly, with the pacing so uneven, the protagonist's neuroses become almost insufferable.

    All in all a good fresh movie worth a watch, but unfortunately far from great.

    Something completely different

    This movie was so refreshing. It is something totally new. This a combination between documentary and romantic comedy. I would never say this is something that can be linked together, but it can! ...and it also works perfectly! Young people should learn physics in schools with this movie. I highly recommend this for everyone who likes real science and nice comedy.

    When science meets fantasy

    It's a shame that the so-called scientist in the film and those who wrote it have failed to test for the fact that the second law of thermodynamics is nullified when certain arrangements of materials are met- as is the case with a box layered with organic and inorganic material. Too bad hollywood is just a propaganda machine churning out sludge for the mushy-minded masses.
