If you enjoy movies that try to show the intimacy of the human experience, this film might be for you. It has a ring of realism to it but to make it a movie and drag out poor directing style to me was very grating. The acting is great and the situations are for the most part very believable. But something about it felt so contrived to me that I didn't get the full feeling of intimacy. The other movie I can think of that did something like this better would be Manic (2001).
