Breaking Upwards Synopsis:
Two twenty somethings explore alternatives to monogamy in this contemporary indie feature film set in NYC. Made by and starring the couple it's based on, Zoe Lister-Jones and Daryl Wein. Also starring Olivia Thirlby, Julie White, Andrea Martin, Pablo Schreiber, Heather Burns, Peter Friedman, Ebon Moss Bachrach.
Based on the filmmakers' actual experience, and starring the filmmakers themselves, "Breaking Upwards" explores a young, real life New York couple who, fours years into their relationship and battling codependency, decide to intricately strategize their own break up.
The film loosely interprets a year in their lives exploring alternatives to monogamy and the madness that ensues. It begs the question: is it ever possible to grow apart together?
Movie Review :
It's cute and entertaining and features some good acting, especially by the parents, but it contains some obvious flaws. First, there is no conflict development. The movie opens up with us seeing a few quick shots of how the relationship is stale, and then it immediately moves into them strategizing their breakup. Second, both Daryl and Zoe are supposed to be 23 years old. This jars with their lifestyle, in that they share a fancy west village apartment together, portray themselves as mature, working professionals, have been in a serious relationship together for four years, and have all the fears and phobias that seem to strike mid-to-late-twenties couples. And yet, they're only a year out of college? There are also some cliché moments, such as Zoe deciding at the spur of the moment to buy a little dog; Daryl having the token gay brother; and Daryl getting offered an amazing job in another city that ultimately causes the couple to split (at least, for now). Nonetheless, the ending is appropriate, in that it shows that both Daryl and Zoe still love each other but need to move forward in their lives, giving hope that the relationship may not really be over (a resolution you longed for, since they had obviously reached a stale point in the relationship but display a love for each other that neither might realistically find again).
