I just watched this and thought I'd leave a little review to go under the only other one on here currently and pretty much echo what that reviewer said! I am a big fan of not just indie movies but even some more mainstream films that are very character/dialogue based and feel like you're privy to watching two real people meet and talk in mostly very realistic fashion (think 'Before Sunrise' or another recent indie favourite of mine, 'First Comes Like').
The performances are excellent, the crisp black and white photography and relative quietness of the locations (obviously down to Covid restrictions) lend to the atmosphere and tone of the movie. I found the two leads to be thoroughly engaging and I appreciated how much some of their philosophies and views on life echoed mine. It almost makes me want to go out and wander the streets in the vain hope of meeting a like-minded soul except where I live in the UK, nothing is really open late :-)
Well worth your time if this sounds like the sort of thing you dig.
