The atmosphere is heavy with loneliness, but there's a tension that creeps in when a potential romance stirs in Gilbert's life. It plays with the idea of connection in a digital age, forcing you to ponder if genuine interaction can still exist. The pacing feels deliberate, gradually building up to key emotional moments. While the performances are grounded, there’s a subtlety that showcases the struggles of opening up to another person. The use of practical effects, mostly through the phone’s screen, adds a unique layer, making you feel the disconnect. It’s a distinct take on modern relationships.
