Absolutely brilliant

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I wanted to like this. I liked the premise of two unconnected people from different parts of the country having a telepathic connection. I was also excited to see it was written by Joss Whedon. I just didn't think the movie delivered.It could have done so much more with the telepathic connection. Instead what we get is an awful lot of telepathic chatting, which from the viewer's viewpoint is no different than watching two characters talking on the phone.The leads are likable enough, even though the characters are really not. Especially Becky, who keeps talking and acting as if she is sincerely trying to keep her marriage together, when she is obviously not. Maybe she is trying to convince herself. Either that or inconsistency in either writing or editing. I know I didn't believe her.It's not bad, but just a rather standard fare rom-com, when it could have been more.

I absolutely loved this movie. I turned it on with exactly zero expectations and was thoroughly wowed. The story line is simple enough, but the acting is superb; especially so as the main characters only have one scene together. The facial and physical reactions to each other are subtle, full of nuance and evoked so much pathos I found it fairly staggering. There were moments I laughed out load during the movie, but it is definitely not a rom-com. Nor a dramedy either. It is essentially a drama which deals with love and mental health in a very unique, light and unusual way. If you in anyway enjoy a romantic movie which is full of quirks; I'm talking 'Safety Not Guaranteed', 'Her', 'Non-transferable', then you will probably fall head over heals with this little gem!

It's a classic naive American romcom. From the beginning, you know which two characters are going to kiss in the final scene. But if you put that aside it's watchable. You just need to lean back and enjoy the romantic part and not think about it too much... Or should you?The reason I gave this two stars is because I had to think about it the day after I watched it, having it recommended by a friend.What I couldn't understand was why the two protagonists, who are telepathically linked, are not pretending they are on a phone, when they speak to each other in public. Instead, they let people around them believe they are mentally ill.Which raises a lot of questions. In the movie, you hear ideas about what is actually happening to them: "going crazy", "having voices in their head", "schizophrenia"... Yet they never try to understand it nor seek professional help. They just go on with their lives in denial until they get to communicate with each other and from that point they start believing the person in their head is real.The problem is, many people suffering from mental illness have difficulties admitting their brain is not always providing them with reliable perception of reality. They may refuse to seek help. They may be scared of mental institutions, afraid they would be given medication which would just turn them into a mindless body. This is only "confirmed" by the movie.Thinking about it, it does not look like they have a telepathic connection at all. It looks like they have a mental illness. They cannot control it all the time. They act like they don't realize how strange they look talking to someone nobody else can see or hear. He even experiences something looking like seizure. She repeatedly "embarrasses" her husband at important (for him) meetings while experiencing something like a panic attack.All is topped by her husband being a doctor who never tries to help her and behaves like an insensitive and ignorant egoist (like he never studied medicine so he could help people), judging her for her suffering. Later, he has her locked up in mental institution only when he suspects she might be having an affair. Seriously!In the end the two protagonists finally meet. Like that wouldn't be the first thing on your mind to confirm that you are not actually loosing your sanity.They meet and they know the other is real at that point. Now, think about it for a moment. There are real people in the real world suffering because they hear voices in their head a you just take their suffering and turn it into romantic comedy? These people will never find out the voice is their head is actually their destined love. They will always have to live like this knowing that there is something wrong with them. It will never be a happy ending for them!It makes me really angry that such a disrespectful movie exits. That so many people worked on it and no one pointed out how immoral it is.It can never be stressed out too much how important it is to talk about mental health.

This is the type of movie, that touch deep your soul not so much with the actor playing, but the story behind. The fairytale about the true and deep connections that makes you wonder if there is anyone who is meant to be with you, but like really meant to be... I really love the story - so unique and different. LOVE it! If anyone know movie similar of that, please tell in the comments. Oh and of course, the actor is super duper cute. Well of course my actual vote for the playing is less than 10, the cinematography is also could of be better, but still the movie is awesome and unique. I am kind surprised I watch the movie nowadays, even know it is from 2014, but I do not sorry for that. I will recommend it so my friends and to all of you. If you want story, that is easy to assimilate, but still deep enough to make you think about it after watching - this is the perfect movie for you.
