Where it is most charming is in moments of spark that exist between leads Goldstein and Poots. They are able to navigate us through the complexity of love as it moves through cycles and phases and in and out of focus. And that is an interesting story and one that the film invites us to follow somewhat meanderingly as it leaps forward through indescript period of time. And for all of that, it resonated.
But there was another side to it.
This film hinges on a relatively basic conceit. Soulmates exist, and they can be scientifically determined. That, as it turns out, is a distraction. The concept of soulmates is there as a deterrent. One more layer on the endless complexity of love. And that is where it lost me. Because it never surfaces as anything more than a distraction. Something on the side. This magnificent concept of soulmates weaved in and out of the story but never fully embraced by it.
