This Closeness

Ah I miss the discussion board on IMDB where we can argue about the plot points and all that. I watched this movie alone so there was nobody to go have pie with to discuss the movie and in particular the ending. This movie reminded me a lot of Zauhar's debut movie Actual People. This had a similar indie vibe for sure but this one was more subdued and nuanced. Overall I would say I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. If you've dated a woman like this, who is easily jealous and then does stuff that is very questionable in a relationship then you'll understand! Without ruining anything I would say if you're considering this movie then go for it. It's a solid 7 indie production and will make you think a bit. As for the ending - it's pretty clear to me what is about to happen! You'll have to get there yourself to see what I mean. If you know you know lol.

Interesting storyline. Overall, liked it. Could have been alot better with a bigger production team, & at least an assist from an experienced Writer. Did not likes the holes. Too much unexplained..... Characters clearly had defining pasts, but very little was given. The 'mystery friend'. Tessa having issues with Lizzie, then Poof, all good. Next scene, with no context, Tessa gives her a head massage & gets pretty touchy, while Lizzie sits like she's doped up, or hypnotized. No context, no explanation. Where was this going? Just a random scene that made no sense. The meek little host suddenly has a date, out of nowhere, & switches to confident stud-mode. Why was the girl all weirded out in the morning. Nothing happened, other than her butt hurt real bad. (don't worry, no spoilers here.) Boyfriend's role was weird & unlikable. (coulda just been the acting) The Ending... My worst movie pet-peeve! The vast majority of movie-goers hate the 'artsy' Schitt. Save it for drama class. Not everybody wants to sit around & 'let's duscuss' afterward. When an entire film is intended to be nothing but Atrsy BullSchitt that makes no sense..., fine, there's a small fanbase for that. Sneaking in 'artsy' scenes in a regular movie is just frustrating. Whether a movie is awesome, or so-do, why the hell would you wanna ruin all the time, effort & work, then destroy it all at the end? Cuz that's all anybody is gonna remember. Makes no sense.
