A character study. I wouldn't call it a rom-com or BL.

Really good casting. The acting was strong too, especially Jameson Blake. Natural and realistic dialogue. This movie is not giving fan service, romance, or comedy, so you'll be disappointed if that's your main interest. It's a super-angsty character study throughout, making it often hard to watch and frustrating. That's just the nature of a story about a risk-averse and repressed main character. I could relate. Actually hit very close to home for me. Anyone in an asynchronous relationship feels foolish and wonders at some point whether they are being used. And who hasn't been ghosted? Many are saying now that they are tired of lockdown stories and characters communicating exclusively through video and texts, and I get that. This is not groundbreaking work, but it is effective, touching, and believable. This was my first time seeing a fairly bad COVID case portrayed to any real extent. This seemed to get it right, except in real life the recovery wouldn't be quick or as complete, I think. This movie was definitely worth watching and maybe a rewatch as well. The song at the end ("Still") wasn't written for the movie but it fits perfectly and it's just a really good song and performance.
