I watched this film and think is very realistic and well done, specially with a tight budget and difficult theme. I think despite the struggle, Jorge is very brave and knows he has to overcome his demons in order to get close to Amy, we see this when he walks her over to the train station, the gift that he gives her, when he says HI to her, and many other moments. At the same time she gives him courage and acknowledges him that leads to the ending of the movie and how he is able to push over his "roommate" or inner self and finally take some sort of control. I think Its a hard movie to understand if you are not familiar with autism, social and anxiety disorders, its difficult to appreciate. It is a common struggle mostly seen in big cities like New York or like the hikikomoris in Tokyo, kids or teenagers who isolate themselves for months or even years without leaving their rooms. So please watch this little gem with open mind and tolerance for the human being and its internal demons imposed by a demanding society that dehumanize us in many ways.
