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: You have a big bed, right?
Francis: Yeah, I have a big bed. You can sleep here. We'll just... We'll just squeeze in.
Nicolas: Thanks, man.
Marie: Shotgun the side.
Francis: I hate the middle, too.
Nicolas: No sweat. I like the middle.

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.
