So let's examine the beginning - a man and his college 'BFF' go to a clinic where she is taking 'the test' to find her perfect compatible other. This could have been any other relationship drama without this perverse and maddening opening note, which really isn't clever or thought-provoking or funny - was it supposed to be funny? I don't think so, as nothing else in the film is.
Clearly destined for one another Brett Goldstein and Imogen Poots - yet she ends up with the chosen 'other' - a non-character, really, whilst they have an affair prolonged over many years. Which finally ends.
Bridges likes long, semi-improvised takes - maybe giving 'our' editor Vic Boydell many choices - she certainly does a great montage scene.
With Zawe Ashton, Steven Cree and, briefly, Jenna Coleman.
