    • Goofs
      When Jessica is talking to Damon on the street (piano scene), the medium shot of them in profile shows their shadows parallel to the sidewalk. In the close-up shots of Jessica and Damon, the shadows are at about 45º to the sidewalk. This can be seen in shadows of the trees behind Jessica and of the shadows of Damon's head on his body.

    Low key entertainment with a strong female lead

    I knew nothing about this movie when it popped up on my Netflix ... and I'm happy to say that it grabbed my interest right away. The story line isn't very novel at all, but what makes the movie worthwhile is a very unusually unorthodox female lead, brilliantly portrayed by Jessica Williams. She is feisty and fun and totally unhinged at the same time.

    Sure, there are flaws to be found on this movie in retrospect but all in all I can recommend it.
