"Love stories are unique, thrilling and romantic. Aren't they? Choosing the form of a black and white road movie, Matthew Lessner caricatures the banality of fiction films that sell the illusion of love as a mixture of destiny and entertaining dialogues. As in Richard Linklater's BEFORE SUNSET, a boy and girl meet by coincidence and spend a day together. Since they are both Americans falling in love in front of an American Taco store, they are not threatened by the foreseeable separation of Linklater's protagonists, who share only one day in Vienna before they must continue on journeys with different destinations. So, what could prevent the couple from staying together? Perhaps indifference, boredom and the fact that they both suffer from skewed perceptions, fed by the odds and ends of internet information and the omnipresent imagery of advertisements and interchangeable action films. A highly entertaining criticism of a visual and emotional conformism, the film is vital proof of an innovative art, that claims America back from the producers of American stereotypes."
