Warning: Spoilers
On a very basic conceptual level, it's an interesting experiment to have two people write and direct a romance film who clearly aren't in love with either the genre or the narrative of either. It creates the foundation for completely new sides to be illuminated by a subject that can be difficult to articulate on film, where reality is precisely simplified.

Julie Rudbæk delivers a remarkable performance as Anna, blending humor and vulnerability with ease. The same goes for Kasper Dalgaard, who uses a little to much of his puppy eyes. The film effortlessly blends romance comedy, and introspection, resulting in a unique and engaging cinematic experience. With its exceptional performances, genuine portrayal of relationships, and captivating storytelling, it leaves a loading impression.

Honestly, Hvidovre is not that far from inner Copenhagen.

Jesper Zuschlag and girlfriend is probably some of the most ennoying in this movie.

And they took a little scene from Friends.
