So, 'Coffee Lover' from 2021 spins this odd yet intriguing tale where cloning isn't just a sci-fi gimmick but a lens to explore unrequited love. The atmosphere feels both intimate and unsettling, especially in those quiet bar scenes where the barista's longing is palpable. It combines romance and science fiction in a way that's not overly flashy. The pacing has moments that linger a bit, which oddly works in its favor, allowing you to stew in the protagonist's emotional turmoil. Practical effects are minimal, focusing more on character and atmosphere than on CGI. Performances vary, with the lead barista striking a relatable chord amidst the surreal backdrop. It's this blend of the mundane and the bizarre that really sets it apart for me.
