Young man with a recent history of mental health issues meets a mysterious woman who changes his life.
I was initially expecting this to be a Before Sunrise type film. Two people falling for one another over one long weekend. And that is what it was for a while. Not original, but still charming.
Then as we learn more about the woman, I begin to assume she's got her own mental health issues. Now I'm expecting a Silver Linings Playbook. Two people with problems finding strength from each other. Again not original but would have made sense, especially with the woman's reveal as to why she's there.
But no. The writer decides to throw a curveball that is completely out of the blue. It also renders much of what came before it irrelevant. In fact, none of the film makes sense if you care enough to take the time and really think about it.
That being said, the lead actors had a nice chemistry with Finn Wittrock especially appealing as a leading man. Now someone just needs to give him a better a script.
I'm partly to blame I guess. What did I expect to be released on a non holiday weekend during COVID.
