My personal opinion

I would give this movie a 4/10 - The entire movie was just them two reading monologues one after the other so it got quite kind boring after a few minutes. I'm actually surprised I watched it to the end. 

I mean, the film was beautiful and it was well written but the storyline was lacking. Wouldn't recommend 👎 

My favourite quotes from this film are...

1. "I feel like once you know someone is there for you and once you know they love you, you never actually think of them again." —Marie
2. "It's not until you're about to lose someone that you finally pay attention." —Marie
3. "If you're going to treat me like an insane person and call me fucking crazy, the least you could do is do it without casually eating macaroni and cheese." — Marie
