I really like the premise and the execution of some early scenes. The scenes where Gina really lays it all out to Jess about how shitty she was to her was great. Leading up to that scene I was worried that there would be immediate forgiveness. It was a good scene because Gina wasn't kind about any of it. Having been in her shoes before(I had someone I loved cut me out before. The person never came back though) I found the outrage very realistic.

What I don't find realistic or at all believable is the rest of the story. Maybe I'm just extremely cynical but I don't see anyone recovering from that. It would be different if jess' reasoning was different or if Jess hadn't responded to Ginas feelings at the time. As is it, it felt like the kind of thing no relationship could come back from. The amount of time is also very relevant, 10 years with no contact is way too long for any of Jess' excuses to make sense.

Even beyond that, even if I could buy into them going out again, they didn't build up to it. An out of place sex scene is what starts it up again, when everything prior to that was pretty slow, suddenly the pacing kicks into overdrive. Then its time skip after time skip before the end and none of it feels believable because none of the foundation has been laid out. Again, even if I buy that they could potentially fix their relationship(which I don't) its still an issue that they rush the second half of the story.

The premise is interesting enough that I want to see someone else do it better. But man I did love that scene where Gina rips her a new one about running away… (plus d'informations)
