Navigating the disorienting aftermath of divorce in vibrant New York City, a graphic novelist finds his attempts at fresh romantic connections constantly refracted through the lens of his past. The film subtly charts a path less traveled within the romantic comedy genre, less focused on grand gestures and more on the messy, painfully relatable minutiae of rebuilding a life – the awkward first dates punctuated by childcare, the lingering ghost of intimacy, and the surprisingly nourishing comfort found in unexpected friendships and late-night pizza. It’s a refreshingly honest exploration of emotional availability, highlighting the challenge of simultaneously embracing new possibilities while tenderly untangling from a deeply felt history, resulting in a bittersweet and gently humorous portrait of contemporary love and loss.
