It's very possible that many people will not relate to this movie but having lived a similar life in the past I can say that this one really hit close to home. It brilliantly captured the lifestyle and the feelings between various singles in NYC, with a very heavy emphasis on the man's point of view. Shiloh Fernandez being the man in this case, a role that he absolutely nailed.
The movie was just very well done overall. It could have been cheesy but instead had a sophisticated Indy feel and swiftly moved through the many different situations and relationships.
A very interesting part of the film is a not-so-subtle reference to 'Women', a 1978 novel written by Charles Bukowski. I'm only guessing here but it seemed pretty evident that writer Chadd Harbold was heavily influenced by this novel, and if that was the case he certainly did the novel justice. I'll certainly be checking out some of Harbold's other works.
Don't be discouraged by the low IMDb rating. This one is much better than the 5.5 it had at the time of this review and definitely worth the watch.

The fight with oneself for affection, love and self-awareness.
I think its a great movie - it reminded me of Alfie so much!

Really strongly I'm thinking what the whole movie was supposed to mean ?
what we were supposed to get from that ? just see a man who is a real player and liar and sees different women .
nevertheless the playing and theme song were good .

I rate this fairly highly because the film is well written and the protagonist is well described and delineated. Everyone should watch this film so you can learn to avoid men like him. He is very unhappy and ungrateful and takes advantage of people (spoiler) especially women. So watch and learn. And if you meet and recognize him, or someone like him :Run!

As a single man and life long bachelor. I can relate with the movie's premise: of a man seeking companionship and adventure. James the main character goes from woman to woman, each with a set of complex offerings. Beautifully made this movie captures the ins and outs of dating and discovering new adventure in the big city. Nothing beats the companionship of a woman or new conquest. Love does comes at a price and so does adventure. This movie harps on the timeless quest of finding the perfect mate in an imperfect world.

This is a good film that I suspect will live on as one of the most accurate depictions of what dating is like for millennials, particularly young men. Raw and brutal at times, soft and tender at others, it will speak directly to the heart of a certain kind of audience, therefore it is not for everyone.
Side note: how is Helen Rogers not a star yet??

So I love this film. I stumbled on it online and then noticed fh y added it to Netflix so I had to watch it again it's that good. In brief you could say this is a depiction of how disposable modern dating is in these times especially with things like tinder. The style is also something that gripped me, the way each date unravels and it is very unpredictable which is something i can't say about most romantic type films. I would call this a mans rom com in a way but not cheesy. Just real and raw.
One thing that is driving me crazy and I really wanted to know is what is the name of the song that Rapunzel starts dancing to? I tried to Shazam it and also looked for it in the credits but can't find it anywhere. It would be appropriated if someone could tell me?

I love and hate this film, 20 years ago this was me and I didn't know what was going on with me my life, it hit a real nerve and I can see what an idiot I was. And the damage I did to both myself and those around me.
I do hope that others watch this emotional film about the chaotic life that drugs and lack of self worth can drag you into. And I hope that the experiences and knowledge that someone who comes out the otherside gains makes them into a better and more rounded human being.
Long nights and short mornings is brutality honest and true representation of how crazy things can get. And watching this has astounded me so much its like a mirror. It will not be everyones cup of tea but it deserves a better rating.
I love it because it was my life, I hate it because I wasted so many years living this lifestyle.
