Hi! Thanks for sharing your opinion. I really appreciate it. Yes, much of the movie was improvised which is incredible in itself, I agree. I just had such high hopes for this film and was really disappointed that it didn't deliver. The ending... by the time it rolled around, I just didn't care for the characters at all.

I really loved this film, but not particularly because of its so-called realism. Like you said, for a film they have to invent some sort of conflict or there's no point making it. I can understand from your experiences that long-distance isn't necessarily represented well in the film but I do think the issues such as them missing each others' calls made the film more interesting (and contributed more to the ending, I think). Maybe he could have moved to the UK, maybe they could have tried harder, but everyone is selfish to some degree and not everyone is a good enough person to make something like that work. This is just a representation of when it doesn't quite work out.

I think maybe it's the fact that they didn't try hard enough as characters which leads them to the end scene, where they finally get what they wanted and it isn't what they expected, they've changed too much. That's what I got from the ending anyway.

I do agree that some parts of it were achingly 'hipster' but some parts, like the writing chair, were endearing and lovely for me.

Also, I read that the whole thing was improvised?! All I can say about the two leads is: WOW.
