A third season would have served our heroes from San Francisco far better and the café dialogue scene would definitely have been the best episode yet, but Andrew Haigh still managed to pull it off. He combined the prayed-for finale with an almost inexhaustible avalanche of truthful sentences, bidding farewell to the entire series, perhaps even fatefully. After an hour and a half of conversations about life, anyone who has ever been slightly troubled by relationships must reflect on where they are heading or where they would like to go. Or on the fact that those who behave a little like asses hide an irreparably broken heart deep inside. Or on the fact that even if we mean well, the other person can perceive us (often quite rightfully) as a coward. Or simply on the fact that even if we get burned a hundred times, we do not wish to remain alone. Thank you, Patrick. Only a few characters have shed as much light on life lessons and slaps in the face as you have succeeded in doing. (26.07.2016)

Perhaps it's because I didn't follow the series, so I don't have the necessary connection to the characters, but I can't help but feel that it's not that groundbreaking. But that's probably because I view the relationship between two people of the same gender quite normally. This film is simply about how everyone has their own problems and tries to solve them, whether poorly or well. (16.08.2016)
