Anyone looking forward to this film release? It's coming out in the States July 17, next Friday. It's the film I've been most in anticipation of this year, ever since its positive reception at Sundance.

This movie was great, saw it twice already. I found it very relatable in so many ways. I had an office job last summer where I briefly dated a co-worker, she wanted to keep things casual so eventually I ended up on the short-end of the stick.

This film brilliantly captures the feeling of new love where you feel like you could die on the spot and be happy. And also the feeling where the facade breaks down and it's like you have no reason to continue living. Seeing it unfold on-screen makes you realize how silly the whole process is, and how dangerous it can be to some of us who aren't as easily in control of our emotions.

Just saw it...absolutely loved it. I could relate it to my life more than any movie I can think of...the ups and the downs felt by the main character and how baffled he feels almost all of the time. Wonderful movie.
