Dude this breakup scene was like the longest take ever with no cut. A bit too real.

D sudden shifts in relationships which trigger d emotionally draining experience d characters go through is observed wid a detached gaze n d unremitting observation of d nuances which fill every moment,serve as d dramatic fulcrum in a film where any form of overt emphasis on obvious dramatic elements have been completely eschewed in favor of a deadpan and naturalistic approach which bring us closer to d characters n affects us a great deal !

Novelistic attention to detail and taste for the duration of its character's feelings make up for generally unlikable characters and a well-worn story. Although I don't like it much, it has the concentrated yet cool and removed gaze of a great film.

Commonplace and boring to the extreme. Such long scenes like this film holds, specially with such heavy dialogue, need a smart and clever dialogue, not a zany and puny one.
