...you only can cheat Biology; is a thing from Human beings.

Somehow in our simplicity we are complex. In that vein the Director is showing at what point you can hide or show up with your real feelings. Very interesting the dense of the pastel tones of the color palette that accompany the ideas behind. The story is showed from the role of a Woman; a young one without kids or married in a society where there are certain topics that are tabulated due to your age; hence she insisted that she has 29 not 30...but as a self defense she still try to believe that is possible to meet a friend, a boy and not to be hurt not passing through the barrier of feelings...but at some point is not possible.

" Rent a Friend " was an okay movie.

It probably needed more time to progress and showcase all those interesting issues that it raised. And truly, the movie gave a brief introduction to the discussion of what is friendship, what is love, and what is the nature of human relationships. However, part of that quick burst of philosophical questioning towards the end of the film, the movie only scratched the surface of the those themes. It rather focused on the romantic story, which, however, was left with a baffling ending. At least, if you are going to go with the love story, give a nice conclusion to it.

Nevertheless, the idea was interesting and the performances quite strong.

So, overall, five out of ten.
