Rather than preaching to the converted on the topic of suburban sprawl, the film takes a more nuanced and subtle approach to its themes, creating vacuous spaces out of everyday dialogue and setting in order to convey the way that life's conveniences (and miseries) are often rooted in routine.
While the city, set against the groomed tedium of the outlying suburbs, is a space of bustle and cultural diversity, its early mornings and undecided nights can be as empty and repetitive, reflecting the psychology of the film's characters.
Rather than providing simple answers, the film asks the types of questions that are at once universal and intensely personal. An impressive directorial debut!
