Love a good menimist movie


Moral: Never marry.
Why eat pizza for the rest of your life when you can 'eat' British, Italian, Asian etc.
Marriage leads to boredom as shown in the protagonist. He became much happier when he smashed some new sugar walls.
9/10 movie, great acting, and the young actor was brilliant

You see him wrecking his own life, and rebuilding it. Brave & responsive. After losing his wife, his life goes off track. Totally off! A subtle metaphor about how tragedy often shakes us up, totally.

Completely agree!!
I saw this movie on a list of top indie films and came across it on my HBOgo. So glad I watched it, I absolutely loved it.
Not sure which character I enjoyed more; Jake or Judah Lewis as Chris.

The subtle nuances and minimalist approach was a breath of fresh air in so so many CGI POS that Hollywood seems all too willing to churn out.
