Aside from three scenes that add up to a total runtime of three minutes, you wouldn’t know what Natalie’s job is (she’s an architect). Her job is also never relevant to the plot until the very end of the film, which feels like a missed opportunity. For example, the film tells us that Natalie has a passion for architecture.

It will certainly resonate to f...
