Just from my first impression i expected a crazy, loud and chaotic movie. But i watched it anyways because of the two main actors and, what to say, made the right choice. I was hocked from the start. The topic may seem a bite unusal, but that`s exactly what i liked about it.
Both actors were showing great acting skills and you could actually feel the chemistry between them. I like it when you can´t quite grasp a character in the beginning and the actor is able to change this feeling during the movie and you can feel how you get closer to the character. Both actors defenitely accomplised this task.
The sript was well writen, the right words at the right time, not too much drama or never ending dialogs. Same goes for the music. Quiet, smooth, necessary but without getting on your nerves.
In the end the movie tourned out to be realistic, sad, life-affirming and quiet, but still chaotic and a tiny bit crazy. The right amount of everything, well composed and put together. And even the ending matched.

Not comedy or romance, it's a drama!

I'm not sure how I'm feeling after watching this movie. But the first thing I have to say is that comedy and romance as film genres are not even close of be right, it is a psychological drama, sometimes sad, sometimes chaotic and sometimes scary.

A lonely young woman rejected by society and her first love and a depressed widower meet each other and become emotionally involved in a torturous and often self-destructive way. There are no comic moments, just a lot of pain and disappointment. With a partially comforting ending, but that let me feeling sad.

I didn't know what was the focus of this movie even after the end

I really don't know what to say about this movie. I am always on the hunt for hidden gems. I am looking for dramas and movies that are not so popular but deserve recognition. I am not sure if anyone would consider this movie a hidden gem. I don't know if I myself think so.
First of all the cinematography reminded me of the movie Amelie at some points which I liked.
The story seemed very interesting and rare, so I watched it. I still don't know what the story was about. Did they love each other through spending time together or did they just sympathized with each other? Was it love or loneliness and despair? The woman loved the man she stalked or she was just obsessed with him because nobody wanted to befriend her? I have so many questions. This movie didn't have a specific message for the audience in my opinion. Or if there was a message what was it?
I am so confused so I don't know if i would recommend it. Maybe some people like this type of movies without a specific theme or movies that you can't fully understand. I personally prefer the movies that are very clear and have a specific message to the audience.
