I'm not really sure what I was expecting when I decided to watch a film about a woman telling her fiancé that once, a long time ago, she blew a dog.
So what did I get? I got a really good, insightful film that delves into human behavior and relationships. And it was made by the Bobcat! Who knew he had it in him! Essentially this film is about truth in relationships. What is too much or not enough? Should you tell your partner everything, or is it better to have some little things that are just for us? The theme is well explored in this film that never ever tries to be a gross-out comedy. The characters are real and the actors stellar. Melinda Page Hamilton is the find of the decade and does wonders with her part that in other films would be a quirky story told - here she's three dimensional and complicated, smart, beautiful, and completely empathetic. I dare you to watch this film and not fall in love with her.
It's not a perfect film. Aesthetically it's slightly better than a student film, however the performances and the story and ideas themselves is what sets this film apart. I'm 100% recommending this. If you like movies about people and the stupid things we do, please, watch it.
