I'd been highly recommended this film so I thought I'd give it a whirl once I noticed that it was on Netflix. It's the story of two young lovers desperate to be together, but torn apart by a Visa violation that keeps her from being about to move to be with him in L.A. and he can't be with her because... well, the plot is a bit weak in that area, but I'll let it go for the pure pleasure of watching Felicity Jones smile when they come together. She and Anton Yelchin have created a really lovely, flawed, and honest look at long distance relationships. Made on a low budget with a lot of improvisation, the film feels natural and lovely. I love the way the filmmaker spans time with the jump cuts that can be months or more at a time, simple framing around those moments and a perfect use of score.
I don't want to give much away about this one - the plot is pretty simple, but the beauty is in the actors chemistry and how we connect to them. It's a beautiful piece!
