It's like an indie film that usually relies on the emotional impact of the story. The main problem for me was how the movie ended. Warning!! Do not read ahead if you don't want to be spoiled! I think the character's growth should be explored more. Jean started a plan to convert their house including their old repair shop into a minimalist home without even consulting her brother and mother. She needs to declutter a house that was so full of junk! She got her brother on board but her mother was still against the renovation. Here on out, I loved watching Jean's journey. She seems heartless at first but as she was going through some of the stuff she can't deny that she still had a sentimental attachment. I loved that she tracked down her friends and gave back some of the things she borrowed and even gave stuff she bought for them years back. One of the most important objects of the movie was the piano. I feel like it was a metaphor for her father. Jean wanted to sell it while her mother didn't want to let it go. Now the plot with the ex, Aim, and it was a lot. Returning the items to her ex opened up a lot of unhinged emotions for Jean. She had to deal with guilt over cutting him off. The dialogue in every scene between these two was so raw and vulnerable. ![]() The movie ends with the closeup of Jean’s pained expression.
