i love minimalist, poignant style films and found this one interesting. there is nothing extraordinary about it, and it almost annoyed me, yet i effortlessly drifted through the movie, along with the main character, and will probably always remember seeing it. most might find it boring, bland and much like watching someone's vacation home movie, but maybe a few, like me, might find something about the character or situation they can relate to. i know i did - needing a break, to be engaged with people in a different environment, but also realizing sometimes how "home," despite all it's dysfunctions, is missed.

: similar movies : for some reason this reminded me of Swimming Pool
