takes a much different approach to a familiar setup

Rating: Null/10 (23 December 2018)

An offbeat take on the typical boy meets girl scenario told in a nonlinear style centering around hopeless romantic architect/writer Gordon-Levitt who meets and falls in love with new colleague and romantic nonbeliever Deschanel. He's sure that she's the one, but she thinks it's all just a fantasy. Use of narration can be viewed as either an asset or a liability depending on your point of view, but it's still an intimate, well-crafted, and refreshingly unconventional story that examines the many intricacies of love. The two leads have a nice, unforced chemistry and the film's off-the-wall storytelling technique make it a lot more interesting than it otherwise would have been. ***
