Quatre moitiés

Surely there was someway to make this a little bit less confusing. Love the characters. Cinematography could have been better, direction was somewhat lacking. It's a good idea but I think it was almost a failure.

This isn't your typical rom-com. It isn't cheesy, it's rather thought-provoking and the dialogue is well-written. It tries to explore the idea of a soulmate by giving it a new meaning, but fails to accomplish the depth it's trying to reach. The editing and the pacing make it complicated to follow at times. I had to pause while watching just to process what exactly was happening in each storyline. There must be a better way of organizing this because it just ends up being so much more confusing than it ever should be.

It's an entertaining film that explores the idea of soul mate, the one that completes us. The film argues that there is no perfect match, a match made in heaven. It's how a couple (or if you are so inclined, polyamory) works on the relationship from day 1.

The movie shows this by looking at possible scenarios or alternative realities between couples as they navigate the ups and downs of commitment.

Who end up as durable couples? As the story suggests, which makes sense, your guess is as good as mine.

The actors playing Gulia, Chiara, Matteo and Dario entertain us as they drive home the point. The situations they are in do happen in real life. They are able to portray their roles convincingly.

I like how it explores the concept of finding an one instead of the one. And how it demonstrates how much work goes into nurturing a relationship and making it work. Only flaw is that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish which reality/storyline we are in, and who's with who at what time point. But overall, I enjoyed it and would recommend.

Love is strange. You must remember the name and the character clearly when watching this movie. In this movie, the two different scenarios are switching too fast that some people may be confused by it. Every time I switched, I thought about the condition whether it was paired by the host or the hostess. In short, love is always messy, and it may be smooth at the beginning, but after going around in circles, it turns out that she/he is not too bad. Does soulmate really exist? In most cases it doesn't. A perfect match probably doesn't exist, too, because people are independent individuals, and everyone has their own personality. You like dogs, he/she likes cats, you like the sea, and he/she likes mountains. The real situation in life is that love eventually becomes family affection, and family affection is also mixed with a little love. Most family makes do and mends for each other, and they make it work together almost as a team...
