retro b @retrobite 2d A work that portrays urban alienation in its purest state. Tom designs cards for a corporation that commodifies feelings; his vision of love is equally extractivist. He needs her to be unattainable to keep his desire functioning. Did you see the karaoke scene? Desire is always the desire of the Other. What he hates in the end is not that she left him, but that she proved to have a desire of her own that does not include him. It is a decoration of heartbreak made to be digestible for the aspirational middle class; the tragedy of form over life. True love tears your skin off; it doesn't have you listening to The Smiths while you cry in a glass elevator. Open the windows and let the dirty street air in, because this movie smells like cheap mall perfume!

Quirky and surprisingly more depth that you would expect. So many viewers have a different take on the film and I think that is a feat in itself as a testament to it's genius. It's a film that viewers continue to analyze and encourages a discussion on the evolving landscape of relationships, breakups, and romance for the millennial generation. It's nuanced but clever. Witty but flawed. Charming but eye rolling at times all at the same time. I highly recommend anyone watch this film in its entirety and not just stick to the short tiktok reels out there.

The film is about a romance between Summer and Tom; Summer never wanted anything serious and always warned Tom that... Tom just had too high expectations, but the way Summer handled it wasn't nice, but it was the only way she saw fit. See more Sanky T Dec 1 I would definitely recommend it as a must watch movie as it helps the younger ones realize what love is all about and would easily be one of my top 3 re-watch movies which I'll never forget watching for the first time The movie could've easily been a 5 star but is 4.5 as the ending was a bit sad and things didn't go as I expected i.e summer marrying tom and no one named autumn was planned See more Emma K. @moviewatcher317 Nov 13 Wonderful movie, one of my favorite ones See more Read all reviews
