O'Connell - a very good actor of whom I feel I haven't seen enough recently - is tender and sympathetic as Jude, and Cooke is similarly intelligent and gentle as Emma.

Cooke is marvelous. She carries this movie through all of its various ups and downs with magnetic grace.

Maybe that's the greatest surprise of the movie, after all: Obsessed though it is with the past, throughout its whole runtime, the best part always lies ahead.

As a timely metaphor for a relationship breaking down under a global pandemic no one knows how to overcome, this film encapsulates the frustration and persistence to maintain human connection once it starts slipping away.
