I personally love the film. I feel like it is a subtle, beautifully-crafted, dreamlike experience, My friend finds it superficial and indulgent; beautiful people with shallow problems. He thinks Blue Valentine or Eternal Sunshine are better films because they show more honestly the suffering and joy of romance. I think that this film, like its characters, carries lot of restraint. I think subtly and ambience are what set it apart from more obvious films like the ones he mentioned.
