Missed Connections (2023)

I personally liked it

Eek, if you look at my rating breakdown, the overall rating should technically be a 5.5 but I personally feel like my overall rating for it would be an 8.

I liked this movie. It's quite a simple movie, slow paced but not too overly slow paced, quite relatable as well.

I empathised with the main character despite her acting which could be seen as a bit much, I think that was the goal, perhaps? I definitely could relate to the things the main character was going through in the movie. There were times I got frustrated with her, concerned for her and times I felt like I wanted to comfort and protect her.

I really liked the lessons I got from this movie which is why I gave it an 8. The acting was good too. The visuals were good. I loved the main character's outfits. I don't know if I would watch the movie again by myself, maybe I would if I have company. But I would recommend the movie.

This movie may not be for everyone, but if you're into slow paced movies that still gets to a place/somewhere at the end (cos some movies really don't get anywhere at all at the end), with some good lesson/s to pick up along the way, then perhaps you'll like this movie. :)

Misplaced Connection ?……

You have to accept the fact that you’re the villain in someone else’s story!

The storyline was okay. Wasn’t to bad and had some droplets of comedy here and there. Overall most moments were flabbergasting.

Mae (FL): she had a serious case on internalized victimization, self loathing, selfishness and obsessive behavior. Everything centered around her and how she felt. Everyon was in the wrong and to blame. That was some toxic a** behavior. At first I was confused seeing her ex always appear till I realized she’s holding on to his memory. That “missed connection” she was experiencing with Norman (ML) was all fabricated in her head. The guy literally told her he wasn’t interested. But she heard, “Yes you have a chance.” You’d thing after she saw him with the girl at the bar she’d take a hint or two and leave it be. One of the most toxic things she did I hated was her fixating on ML and then go to every length to be with him. Because in her sick head she was perfect for him. Her issue was she needed to love herself and stop trying to find that validation in guys. Like her aunt said, “forcing things hurts more than leaving them alone.”

Norman(ML): I believe he should’ve not befriended her and set some clear cut boundaries. FL (Mae) kept pushing the limit cause although he said he wasn’t interested his behavior and things he did made her delulu behind think there’s hope.

Her coming to a realization that loving herself and be okay with being single was perfectly fine was my favorite part. Wish it had happened sooner tho. Seeing her delete that dumb app and making amends with her ex was great.

Overall if you’re looking for a fuller movie to watch you can watch this. I fairly enjoyed it and found it okay to sit through. Regardless of my rating for it, the show is alright
