The film explores the highs and lows of an affair with Elias, a painter whose studio shares her building. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to sink into Ivy's emotional turmoil, the early whimsy devolving into darker, more toxic territory. The performances carry a raw authenticity, revealing the fragility of love and desire. Practical effects are minimal, but the cinematography captures the vibrant bohemian atmosphere beautifully. The themes of addiction and the consequences of passion resonate well, even as the tone shifts from lighthearted to heavy, making it a distinctive entry in the comedy-drama-romance niche.
