is this a love triangle or a polycule?

Wow a B-?! I thought this was really really good. I thought this was a very thoughtful and realistic look at dating and how people go about seeking "love." The ending was a bit more tame than i was expecting though, i was expecting a little bit more punch or twist to it but it felt like it played it safe.

I think the reason the audience reaction is so low is because this is NOT a romcom. It is not a comedy at all. It is a straight up DRAMA with a few moments of quirky levity sprinkled in. But I think the marketing F'd this movie. It skewed people's expectations to what they were walking into but on its own terms this is a really good romance drama.
