Online-psychic-as-therapist is the most 2025 storytelling engine I've seen this week. Bonus points for refusing to dunk on the protagonist for using it.
The psychic-sketch-Etsy economy as legitimate emotional infrastructure for twentysomething heartbreak is exactly the kind of specific cultural observation I value, and Gatti's previous prog-rock noir suggests range. A tone poem that knows what it's doing.
Psychic-sketch Etsy-economy as legitimate emotional infrastructure for twenty-something heartbreak is a sharp observation — Gatti shifting from her 2022 prog-rock noir to understated tone poem shows real range. The drawing-resembles-ex hook is clean.
Reviews
The film accurately captures the confusion and vagaries of twenty-something life, pinpointing the discomfort of being conflicted on the matter of love.
