Review of The One I Love (2014) by Juli N — 30 Aug 2014

A clever and twisty rom-com that's a little bit Charlie Kaufman, a little bit mumble-core, and a whole lot of premise. It's a film best to go in with little knowledge of, but do know that it's worth seeing for the performances alone.

Elisabeth Moss and Mark Duplass are completely genuine in their parts, and grow more complex after the film's ideas come to full. Some may say that the concept isn't explored to it's full-potential, but the climax is a bit surprising and it ends on a note that certainly seems inherent to it's principal influence of The Twilight Zone.

Completely self-aware (albeit too much at times), The One I Love is an interesting and breezy film, if nothing else.
