Newness

I just saw it. In fact, I like it a lot, the camera has this frames very close to the character, somethig that we aren't used to in real life, so that makes me think of a solitary and individual person and society. I like this camera language 'cause it goes hand in hand with the movie plot. The looks and the camera movements make me feel like its something natural, like real life. The sound design has a few parts with an exclusion that I found magical, it goes with the tone of the movie, although I would have love to have a little bit more from the ambient. They used the silence so good I really enjoyed to have those quiet moments, where I felt everything that was happening in scene. Montage, what could I say, I went nuts with the first sequence. (Maybe nuts its a bit extreme, but you have me). Its something to appreciate in the whole film. Direction, I could almost listen to the director voice in some parts, I´m not sure if that´s something bad, but I liked it, it helped to feel the moments. I´ve found the acting good enough to reflect real life in some parts, in another I found them a bit forced and overacted, but I think that´s part of the essence of the script, and they were necesary to the story keep going. The script was really good, firstable it´s about something real, something that many of us have been trough, or thinking of it like and option (at least we have doubts about it) and in this time is the "new black", so its pretty modern. Secondable, from my view I think the characters are the most natural and related to real life, how an actual person would react in front of some situations. Cause lets be honest here, we all are possessive when it comes to a partner that we care of.

I really liked it! Hope you enjoy it! I might be the worst to trust. (Let mi know if not) Sorry fot the bad english :/

For a movie that has relationship written all over it in the "modern era" (that is with cell phones and apps to find "love"), this really could be called a modern day love story. So while you could compare it to "Love", this is not as explicit as that (though you will have some nudiy in this too), but gets more involved into the characters.

One set up shows closeness physically, but characters being as far apart as possible. It could have gone wrong, too cliche, but the symbolism of it really hits home (no pun intended). The movie generally has quite a few themes, with "newness" being one of them. The pleasure one has to enjoy that. But even with one character living in the past, the connection to "new" is still there. The other character may not want anything newer, but that plays into the theme too. Especially when things get mixed up.

The movie tries to analyze a bit and give us a look into the psyche, but it not a psychological study. You can read a couple of things into it, but it does try to stay in the drama department and the general flow of the movie. Good themes, good acting and a good script about a ... new sort of love story

I must say the movie is pretty good to watch, do not be put off by the negative reviews. It depends what you expect, the pace of the story matches its plot, acting and dialogues are good, not that special, but it conveys the idea that the movie is about pretty well. There is no answer today which one is better, a committed serious relationship, or an open exciting yet not complete one. See the movie to find what they had to say, you would like it.

I almost made the mistake of switching the movie off 15 minutes in. Thankfully I didn't. Laia Costa in a very emotional scene captivated me as she did for the whole movie and the story finally really began. Even though we get obvious unsubtle punches against facebook and tinder it is not really about these technologies because they are just that. They don't force us to do anything. It is about generation "swipe left if you are bored". It is about running away from conflict thus running away from real relationships. Relationships are messy. They always have been always will be. But what makes them deep the work you put in. The best quote of the movie nails it: "love is two people not giving up on each other" as I didn't give up on this movie 15 minutes in being rewarded at the end.

This movie, to me, is not about how they meet, go through life or the open relationship. It is about that moment we always look for, the instant chemistry, which makes us euphoric and therefore happy. That bubble that everything is oke, everything is in line and I love somebody and that person loves me back in that moment.

The way this movie is shot, the high level of acting, it is as if you are watching your own life in some way. I think everybody can take moments from it and see what moments happen in their own life and how they react.

It is not intended as a movie to learn from, but just to hold a mirror up. It is not good or bad, just how we walk through life. To me, it is a good thing to keep realizing it.

If I had to pick one thing that stout out, I would say; that moment the bubble bursts. When you start to talk to each other and learn more about their way of thinking. At that point you are going to hear something you don't like and in an instant, your face changes and you need to deal with that emotion. That's when the euphoria stops and you try to get it back.

This review shows that this movie won't be for everybody, but watch past the first 10 minutes and get taken away by the emotions and reflect on yourself.
