I felt the impact of this movie for several days after, & I had a hard time understanding why. On paper the synopsis wouldn't seem like much, & without giving away the central defining act of the film...was it because the incredible tenderness at the beginning was *so tender & then irretrievably gone? Is the intimacy you claim to want really just an elaborate bait & switch with all the personal darkness the other person is carrying around? Is real forgiveness really possible?, a full restoration of trust, after something like this? Why did it take so long for them to talk about it? Their touching satyrian play, dancing to the jazz music after the dinner party, ought to be lifted out & transferred to a completely different movie that isn't such a buzzkiller, because. Hahaha. But then also the scene where the one dude's at soccer club & he breaks down sobbing in horrible sadness & both teams clear the field to comfort him. Maybe that's what did it. CR
