The Huge Plot Hole (spoiler)


So you're planning a trip to Paris with the sole purpose of seeing the one person with whom you have been able to sustain a relationship (if only for a few days). You don't call ahead -- just to make sure he is still there? And when you lose the number, you don't call your former co-worker who likely has his number (or at least his parents number)? Oh, it doesn't matter, cause you are definitely going to run into him at random on a subway - a common event in a city with over 2 million people. There are more likely plots in most sci-fi films. I agree the acting is good, and the soundtrack is great, but for a film trying to put a realistic spin on relationships, the last third of the movie isn't working.

The ending did suck but I only disagree with one thing you said. The first 2/3rds of the movie blew too. It was boring as hell and I wanted the principal characters to be hit by a car.

Hard to believe she would not have put his number into her phone or otherwise copied it, entered it into a file or address book (real or virtual).

I was hoping she’d find the paper with Julian’s number when she was on the train or at the airport, maybe while she was getting her passport ready. That would have been a believeable kind of fate. Then she would have to make the choice to call him or leave.
