    • Trivia
      Macon Blair used the experience of having his apartment broken into and laptop stolen, plus a lack of police follow-up, as some of the inspiration for this story.
    • Goofs
      While the conspicuous placement of the Catan game in Tony's house may at first seem out of place for a loner like him, and therefore an error, it more likely represents his innermost hopes and plans for a life with stronger social connections. He dreams and prepares for a day when he will have enough friends to play the game. Its presence the first time Ruth enters his house is both forlorn and optimistic.

    Worth Watching.
    Started a bit slow, and it seemed like it was trying too hard with the so-called cringe humor. I still enjoyed the photography, editing and music even though I wasn't impressed with the plot. Then things changed dramatically for the better. One thing I noticed towards the ending was the similarities with "The Shining" (1980) both in set and music. Might have been wishful thinking but my I'm pretty sure there's a bit of a reference there.

    Fantastic acting, I didn't realise the main character was played by the "Heavenly Creatures" (1994) actress. Never really seen her "black, beautiful little eyes" since then, but her average mid-thirties woman looks were very refreshing for a leading character in a motion picture. Elijah Wood always delivers of course, he was hilarious as a very specific loser type.

    Overall a very, very good dark comedy with existential overtones, nice plot turns and a great atmosphere. Loved it.
