I think the imdb summary of this movie doesn't really give a good reflection of the storyline. While Emma does learn a different family dynamic from her girlfriend, this movie is not based around that plot. Emma has lived a life with an emotionally draining and controlling father which has shaped her to be insecure even in her strengths. This movie revolves around how she's works and at times fails in learning the ability to trust herself. Her girlfriend plays a roll in this just as her colleagues do as well as the strained relationships in her families dynamic and her successes and failures in her career.

Excellent acting, high anxiety level
calle-eng20 February 2024
I don't like giving this movie a low score. The acting is excellent, the characters feel real and present, the dialog is spot on. The score is for the story.
This is yet another movie using anxiety as the only theme. The controlling and narcissistic father, the emotionality abused mother, the non-committing girlfriend, the demanding colleague. And the main character in the middle, barely able to breathe.
If you like 2 hours of anxiety followed by 5 minutes of "happiness" this is the perfect movie for you. Personally, I hate feeling like I did walking out from the movie theater. Simply put, the balance is off.
