Goofs

When Nicolas and Marie by accident run into Francis at the Vietnamese restaurant, Francis introduces Nicolas to his friend Antony. However, in the first scene of the movie you can see that Nicolas already has met Antony as they all sit at the same dinner table. There is nothing to say that either Francis didn't realize they knew each other, or that Nicolas and Antony were merely playing dumb and avoiding an awkward situation. See more »

Quotes

Nicolas: Seismography. You bore cables and sensors into the ground. You blow it all up and you can make maps. Based on the vibrations, you can see what's underground.

no i don't have a summary
7 July 2017 | by olalucifer – See all my reviews

why have I done all the stupid things involved in the dialogues?

what Dolan does best is to present all the sensitive details which you definitely have experienced once when you were in love and never noticed or you're just never willing to admit.

being talented is such a fine privilege.
