This character driven movie is beautiful. It is depicts a love story that started in an instant. I remember the moment that I met the guy I am in love with now just as vividly as he, Dell (Justin Long), remembers their conversations: first, a few in the middle and their last. Moments like that hit your soul and you rarely feel like you will recover if it ends or rather when something happens that brings a finality to your temporary separation. You labour on the choices you made and how things should have played out or what you should have done. You replay conversations and think about what you didn't get to say and what you needed to say. The movie is impactful because it shows a comprehension of that aspect of love and loosing it, and the hope for it's return when all seems lost. It's like being in love and you were tied to each other by a rubber band (love); you stay close, then drift apart and come closer and drift apart and then the "event" causes it to snap but you hold on the broken end in hope that they might too.

I love the dreamscape that the movie is perpetually in. It lends itself to the enigma that is love. Love can drive you crazy and set your mind aglow. The acting though simple is layered with many things happening below the surface. As the voyeur you are privy to things that the other character does not know and it adds to the suspense in the moments as they pass leaving each scene thick with competing emotions. I enjoyed the complexity of the characters. The truth of what happened, like in life, happens in the minds of the characters and even we the audience don't get know all that has happened.
