The atmospherics and pace of this movie seem a deliberate way to demonstrate what happens when we notice other people, strangers who may be struggling right before our eyes, people who could do with a bit of kidness.
Notice the gradual cycling around of each of the characters, passing in the doorway, wandering into a soup kitchen, parked under an apartment window. The perfection of Zoe Kazan stroking the retro office chair. She had passed that chair on the street and now she and the chair were reunited.
This is a movie I could watch a few times, and I'm sure I would notice fresh nuance each time.
