Newness

This relationship is not very interesting. The really quite charming actors are not given characters that ever have much of interest to say, so it's tough to invest much in their relationship. Once the open relationship starts going south and Danny Huston enters the film, you're almost routing for the Huston/Costa pairing to prevail since he's actually given decent things to say.

The ending I prefer: boy rejects girl, girl suicides, boy becomes a trans-prostitute.

A "love" story about people with the self control of mice. I get that the immediacy of social media has perverted modern relationships, but Doremus' story here is so grossly unromantic that by the end I felt like I wanted both of these people to be as far away from each other as possible. Not a horribly constructed film, just a rather unpleasant experience.
