We Forgot to Break Up

A film about past. About lost connections, about present so different, after a hole of years , by yesterday . And about need to be part of a band who , in other time, was significant part of a life. The construction of story is the main virtue of film. Reactions, dialogue, the concert . And the accept of the end . So , portrait of an return.

Awkward and boring. With a somewhat cringe musical number to top it off . Ick!

There was no character development or reason to care about any of the interactions. We get no real motivation or understanding and Evan's "acting" feels particularly flat and Unemotive.

It all feels very amateurish and superficial while thinking it's making some kind of grand statement. It's really not saying anything.

I felt like this film wasn't trying to say anything profound, but just shed light on the complexities of transitioning while trying to maintain old contacts and friendships. I'm sure Evan decided to leave his life when he did out of shame or guilt to go start his transition. I'm sure he found profound happiness, but realizing later on that he doesn't want to completely lose those people forever or out of nostalgia, wants to reconnect.

I felt Evans acting was on point for how he is probably feeling that night. He feels like he doesn't quite know how to act around his old friends, lovers, boyfriends. A little flat awkwardness is inevitable.

I'm glad this was shared with me! This was well put together. Selfishly, I wanted more closure at the end, but it wasn't necessary to understand the film.
