Set in an uncanny future — or perhaps a slightly alternate present where cellphone technology is nowhere to be found — Anna and her partner Ryan have achieved every couple’s dream: they are in possession of a document certifying their true love. Their comfortable if somewhat mundane life, however, leaves Anna questioning their successful love test, administered by placing their extracted fingernails into a cutting-edge machine. Anna soon begins working for the Love Institute under the tutelage of Duncan (Luke Wilson), which, in addition to determining a couples’ status via the mysterious test, trains them to deepen bonds. There, she’s paired with the experienced — and devastatingly charming — Amir to take couples at various stages of relationships through a series of love-building activities before the big test. As the new colleagues work to ameliorate the connections of clients, Anna begins to wonder if perhaps Amir is her one true love and if trusting her own feelings is a more reliable metric than what is determined by a machine
#BFI#LFF 内核展现爱情与孤独，片中高概念设定有些像《龙虾》，宿命论的感觉很强。刚开场没多久我就开始担忧故事的结尾了，因为开场展现的设定非常吸引我，可以想象到收尾的难度非常高，需要在俗套与更俗套指间突破，故事果真不出所料的在结尾崩了，走向了俗套，感觉如果影片不能有一个高概念或者批判性收尾整个故事就太弱了，不过从中能看出编剧是一个理想主义者，甚至说是一个年轻的对爱情抱有理想与坚持的人。
视觉上，整体呈现效果很棒，镜头运动不错，手持的部分的情绪体现和推拉摄对于角色状态的把控都很好。色彩也很好的表现角色状态，角色间的关系大部分通过色彩展现，水下那段拍的非常美，有几场戏的变焦也非常细腻。
配乐和音效挺不错，但也是没有特别突出的部分。总体就是对于这个设定感到可惜。
不喜欢，收尾是最致命的。还有一处调色很有问题，男女主的脸色都不对了。几处虚焦不知道是不是刻意为之。
