Don't watch if you are going trough a hard moment. (Bukawski might have liked it) The movie is good if you have an excess of joy in your life, that you would be willing to exchange some for a crude existential crisis. If you are down, it is good (I'm too old for this sh***).
Yes, yes, efficaciously directed to convey all the complex emotions that it intends. Good acting by Jessie Buckley and Toni Collette, and I appreciate the writing and sequence of events. BUT I disagree with the romantization of misery and the lack of creativity (or depression, or miserable life circumstances) that lead a person to have such a bleak relationship with life as to be permanently fixated in very few negative elements. Yes, it might be the experience of most, but why embellish it? "It is the age-old purpose of art" I hear you say. Ok, fine. Not for me.
