What It Really Is: A brilliantly constructed and deeply touching comedy that encapsulates what it's like to be the more committed person in a relationship. It's a bittersweet When Harry Met Sally for people under 30. The performances by Levitt and Deschanel are 100-percent genuine and Director Marc Webb avoids hipster clichés to keep it natural and timeless.
Why watch It?: In the vein of independently cutesy film titles that scream “Look at me, I’m indy and progressive”- 500 Days takes it to another level shooting a romance out of sequence and thoughtfully reminiscent of how love goes wrong. It feels like your watching someone's real relationship the way they remembered, both the good and bad. It also delves into how someone can see a relationship completely different from how it actually happened.
MovieFIX: ****1/2 out of 5. Possibly the most romantic / least romantic movie you will see this year. Beautifully acted and lovingly filmed.
