Trying is an interesting blend of comedy and drama that really captures the nuances of relationships. Directed by Holly Hargreaves, it’s shot in a relaxed, almost documentary style, which adds to its authenticity. The improvisational approach gives the dialogue a natural feel, making the characters' struggles and interactions resonate in a very real way. The pacing is deliberately slow at times, mirroring the tension that builds as the weekend unfolds. Themes of love, communication, and the complexity of human connections are explored, and the performances are genuine—they feel like friends rather than actors. It’s distinct in how it presents these everyday issues without resorting to melodrama. Definitely a film that lingers long after the credits roll.
