The film opens in the intimacy of a cozy room where Josh and Mackenzie share a moment. Things between the two are getting heated when a sudden change in the conversation alters the tone and mood. Their passionate exchange comes to a halt as they begin to discuss what a purely sexual experience between the two on the last night of their trip could potentially mean for the future.
Make-belief scenarios unfold, ideas of guilt and regret begin forming, and the what-could-have-beens and should-have-beens nestle themselves within the story. In portraying all of this, the screenplay and edit maintain an effervescence that not only stands it in good stead but also achieves a uniqueness of voice and storytelling.
The circumstance in itself is not a unique one, but its portrayal becomes the most remarkable aspect of the film. The effortless chemistry of the actors, the two primary, but also of those who step in and out for brief durations, aids the storytelling notably. The film does not weigh itself down by trying to be anything it’s not, and in the process, allows its authentic voice to achieve all of this with ease.
