Smart debut, approachable.
I don't quite understand what the title refers to, but I can think of the movie as a less romantic, more witty Before Sunrise/Sunset. Without subtitles, dual mirrors still cost some brain cells in the end.
Helena Bonham Carter is the second woman in her mid-forties that I saw last night, and she is still calmer, more rational, and more realistic than the man next to her, Aaron Eckhart. A woman who persisted in smoking for so many years without drinking alcohol. It is indeed a bit of a babble, and the bridesmaid theory, his little girlfriend who turned 23 on August 12, shuns the increasingly large number of age, and ruthlessly satirizes him.
As if she knew well that a 38-year-old woman should let go of unexpected passions. For him, who was a lover at the age of 19, no matter how violent the spark was, it was just a heartbreak. He looked like he really went back in time.
They found nowhere to go in their peaceful farewell. In the final scene, the shots on both sides finally break the boundary. The two people sitting side by side on the screen did not actually reach the same destination.
