I’m finding it hard to use my own words to explain what I think of this movie, so what I’m going to do is copy and paste bits and pieces of other reviews from IMDB.
…the point of the screenplay isn't finding temporal paradoxes nor playing with historical chronology, but gradually discovering the nature and interaction between interesting characters, each one of them focused into their own "adventure".
At first glance, this film seems to focus on hidden past of people, but I felt a strong message about how to live and deal with regrets in the present time.
[It] manages to tell a story that is more sincere than one would expect and feels more real than a dramady that is trying to be the most realistic of human stories.
Actors Duplass and Plaza are so great radiating weirdness off of each other. The two form an unusual friendship that rings true in every detail.
…it’s a script-driven indie romcom and it does what it’s supposed to do very well.
…the big de-virginizing is a yawn as seen in every teen comedy featuring a male who must be rescued from his virginity by a more experienced male.
The casting was superb.
Unique and quirky plot line.
However, not sharing spoilers here, the film sort of ended on a high note - but no real closure.
This is the story of two damaged souls who form an unlikely bond and make each other whole, and that in itself was utterly touching.
