    Is the twist worth the watch?
    It starts out like a cute romance but quickly turns into quite an unpleasant story. I couldn't relate with the main protagonist. Why would you get together with the person you love but then leave her alone in another city because your job takes you elsewhere. And then be a total piece scum to her the few days you come visit. There is an unexpected twist to the story (this is even announced during the opening credits as a message from the producers) which puts the whole affair into a different, you could say black-humorous perspective, but to me that didn't change the fact that the story was rather unpleasant to watch and so were the characters. But your mileage may vary, a matter of taste I'd say. I did like the cinematography and the 80's flair, it's done so perfectly, I had to double-check that I was watching a movie from 2015.
