this film reaches for the same intimate, vulnerable vibe as its eventual reconception, and sometimes it gets pretty close. the two leads have an easy, natural chemistry, and the film’s quiet late-night conversations give it a warm, honest feel. but unlike shithouse, which leans fully into emotional messiness, this one smooths over some of the rough edges, making it feel a bit lighter and less impactful. still, it has enough sincerity and charm to make it a solid watch.
