Description

In contemporary L.A., two unacquainted millennials, spend their weekends “swiping” on the dating app WINX. The options are endless, but it's less about connection and more about hooking-up. But when Martin and Gabi meet, they find themselves talking into the early hours. Connecting. It’s exciting. It’s new. Exhilarated by each other, they rush into a relationship. They go out on dates. They move in together. They skip work to make love... But is this love?

    Just the difference is that this film is for millennials so it is less talk; more texting communication and lacking depth and personality.

    I was not expecting to like this movie but great performances and I became emotional invested with the characters. Definitely cried like a baby because of this movie.

    A must see for anyone who wants to stay in love with someone. I am a huge fan of EQUALS and was so excited to obsessively watch yet another movie with Nicholas Hoult. But I wasn't expecting to be blown away by the performance of Laia Costa and Danny Huston. (I love love love Matthew Gray Gubler too)... all their parts and what they did to advance the story as different impact characters to help the two leads Martin and Gabi realize what was most important for a long term relationship... Ben York Jones is my new hero- what a story teller! and having his work in the hands of such a talented director like Drake Doremus... forget about it! I can not relate to this story at all (not until the end) because one I don't have a smart phone (and am tickled to Twitter-drop the fact that Mr. Doremus recommended I get a Razer cause I tweeted how I still use a flip phone) but its not just that I don't have a smart phone so i can't relate to that kind of constant connectivity that smart phones offer but I've been married for 20 years, together with my husband going on 23...so I watched this movie cause I trusted the director to tell me a good story and I trusted the actors to perform their roles to perfection and I was blown away by Laia... my gosh, what a complex role she played. She learned a valuable lesson and it was deeply touching about what matters most in a relationship and I found it refreshing because it was honest about stuff I can't believe people will do today with being so quick to hook up and such but who am I to judge? I'm not, it is just shocking because I'm pretty traditional but it was in the end... such a good lesson and so well told...and my gosh... I really thought everyone did an amazing job telling this truth... the movie was well balanced with the supporting roles helping the main characters realize what was important and reaching their transformation together... this one really knocked it out the park and I'm delighted that I got to watch it and I hope it does well... it was bold to make a movie and decide to do what they are doing... tell your story and not let anything stop you from getting it out there... I hope it does really well.

    I was expecting this to be a relatable (I'm a 28-year-old male) but cliched look at young people today. How could it not be cliched? It's about hook up culture, and smart phone/social media addiction, and how easy it is to chase cheap dopamine hits - that is, newness - and how hard it is to discover something real, and how REALLY hard it is to hold onto something real. I kept waiting for the moment when I would roll my eyes and hit the esc key, which happens way too often in my attempts at movie watching. But this movie has serious heart. It refuses to let you go.
  • Very Exciting!

    Just watched it with my girlfriends and this movie, the relationships are very relatable. My favorite part was when the main characters were falling in love. I Highly recommend it to all my girls. I LOVE the storkes so it was a pleasent surprise to see Albert Hammond Jr <3
