The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreThe acting in this movie is really good.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The documentary takes on an intimate look at his own relationship. His relationship becomes open after the filmmaker expresses that it is something he wants to explore. We see the rise in conflict and discomfort in the filmmaker's relationship by doing him so. You can tell his girlfriend does not like the idea, but stays in a relationship with him as she loves him. The film is very emotionally driven by the filmmaker. It's very personal to him. IIt shows that he is conflict whether his open relationships and not keeping his sexually fidelity is correct and sustainable. It shows the negative effects this type of relationship can have on two people and the decline it has on his personal relationship.Although personal, it also explores bigger questions. He interviews couples in polyamorous relationships who appear to be happy and comfortable with this lifestyle. This is followed by what various experts think on the matter. Some say that monogamy is unnatural for our species, others say that polygamy causes too many problems and heartache within them and it all makes for an interesting discussion on the topic. He shares his desires for an open relationships with his family members and interviews them on their perspectives. Their perspectives often disagree with Dhruv's and express concern for the type of relationship he is pursuing. It further explores a history of monogamy and marriage in the past and how historically the meaning of marriage and commitment has changed.The documentary is great because it gives us a first hand look into the effects of a poly relationship. It raises questions about the age old question of fidelity. Can one stay happy with just one person forever? I think this question is still very much unanswered and possibly a subjective one. It inspires thought about human nature. I highly recommend it. It's an interesting topic!
