A good movie

Already 10 years ago, Sarah Pollen delivered with 'Away from her' a really impressive directing debut so when she was coming up with a follow-up, of course, I was quite eager to check it out. Eventually, it didn't make much waves when it was released and I think it was barely noticed at the the time but I was still interested in the damned thing nonetheless. Anyway, even though it turned out to be a decent watch, I canโ€™t say it really blew me away though. The main issue I had is that even though Polley introduced 3 really intriguing characters very well played by the actors involved, I thought they were all 3 rather poorly developed. It was rather strange since there wasn't much going on and since the movie was really only focusing on this love triangle. I mean, at some point, I was so clueless about what was going with these characters that I was wondering if Margot ย (played by Michelle Williams) and Lou (played by Seth Rogen) were somehow both autistic because of the rather awkward way they talked and interacted with each other. Obviously, it wasn't the case, they were just a couple struggling in their relationship but instead of being straightforward, ย Polley went for something rather convoluted but, to be honest, it was rather pretentious, in my opinion. Or maybe I'm just used to see movie couples who are way more articulate than actual real couples. Anyway, in spite of its flaws, it was still an original romantic feature though and it is worth a look.ย
