Impactful realism (with no happy end?). It felt so true!

Rating: 6/10 (7 January 2020)

I really admire the acting here, it felt so real and true to actual life. There is no classic 'happy end' to this, you get to see 2 sides of the medal. You can understand him and her...
one thing I did not like that much: the film was still made to sympathize with - him. Often we stay in his perspective, follow him as he takes phonecalls from her et cetera. ... yet the film 'acts' like it shows both personalities and motives equally.
To me it would have felt more real if both sides where shown equally.
Yet, the beginning of the movie was one of the best parts, the love letters felt - real. All the little things that makes a partner great were named... even if the main characters could not see them anymore at this given time. I know that this part alone defeats the purpose of this film, but for me - that is what inspired me personally for my own life and relationships.
Well done (even though it was not my favorite genre).
