Feel like this one and Eternal Sunshine are two sides of the same coin. One gets you to miss the good stuff in what you thought was a bad relationship and the other gets you to admit the bad things about what you thought was a perfect relationship. Both are simultaneously heartbreaking, but hopeful.–lemurgetsatreat

There’s a movie with Andy Samberg and Rashida Jones called Celeste and Jesse Forever and it’s sort of an anti-rom com? I felt it was a realistic break up movie and where nothing crazy happens people just drift apart and move on and work on themselves and move up in life. I saw it after a breakup not knowing what it was about and felt better about my situation.–FFS-For-FoxBats-Sake
