A lonely office worker struggles with social ineptitude and depressing thoughts of her own mortality. A probing co-worker tries to bring her out of her shell and get her out of her own head. This is easily Daisy Ridley's best performance to date. Reminds me of something like Punch-Drunk Love (particularly the music choices) and Fallen Leaves, and it's crazy that I can't think of any other movies in-between. There is an ethereal quality that permeates all the way through, with some sweet moments of genuine human connection, and it's all very touching in an understated way. Anyone who doesn't resonate with its themes obviously has no idea what it's like to live this way. It's basically how I feel all of the time.
