Kuthiwani uma uhlala ngaphansi kosongo oluhlala njalo lokuhlaselwa, futhi bekungekho lutho umuntu angakwenza. Uma - emini noma ebusuku - bekunomsindo ophikelelayo wengozi ohlale ukugcinile. Futhi noma ngabe ukhombise ukwesaba noma ukukhathazeka kangaki, kuhlangatshezwana nemibuzo engacacanga yokumangalela nokunganaki okujwayelekile ngesimo sakho. Lokhu iqiniso elibi kwabesifazane abaningi kanye nesimo somqondisi uNatasha Kermani Unenhlanhla. 

Kule filimu, umbhali ozisizayo ogama lakhe linguMay ulwela ukukholelwa njengoba ezithola esindwa ngumuntu osabisayo obuyela endlini yakhe ubusuku nobusuku. Lapho engakwazi ukuthola usizo kulabo abaseduze kwakhe, uphoqeleka ukuthi azenzele izinto ezandleni zakhe.

Kubhalwe nguBrea Grant (ophinde adlale njengoMeyi), lo mbhalo awushayi nxazonke zesihlahla esiyisaga. Kwesinye isigcawu esikhangisa incwadi entsha kaMay - ebizwa ngokufanelekile ngokuthi “Go It Alone” - ubamba isikhathi se-Q & A (Lucky's okulingana nesigcawu sezifundo zasekilasini esichaza ngokweqile); inkhulumomphendvulwano iqonde ngqo, ngokusobala ibeka isisekelo sezingqikithi zabesifazane zefilimu. Iphakamisa imibuzo futhi iphakamise amaphuzu alungiselela umbukeli ukuthi avule kakhulu (uma kungenjalo mhlawumbe kube yisandla esinzima) sokuhlola ukuhlukunyezwa nokuhlukunyezwa kwabesifazane, okuxhaphake kakhulu emphakathini kangangokuthi kubukeka sengathi kuncishisiwe ukuziqhenya “nakhu nje izinto kukhona ”.  

Kuyo yonke ifilimu, imibuthano yeskripthi ibuyela emuva ekungenangqondo kwalo mqondo. UMay utshelwe ukuthi "hlala uqaphile", njengokungathi ukwazi ngesimo esithile kuzosivimba ukuthi singenzeki. Umyeni kaMay ubonakala engaphazanyiswa yilokhu kuhlaselwa kanti amaphoyisa akhombisa ukuthi bekungaba kubi kakhulu; Ngaso sonke isikhathi, uMeyi uhlangabezana nokunganakwa. Ungakuzwa ngempela ukucasuka okunamandla kukaGrant. Udlala kahle ekhathele; ubona ukukhathala kwakhe njengoba ezihudula usuku nosuku, ekhungathekile, edidekile, futhi eyedwa. 

Umculo nguJeremy Zuckerman (Intombazane Yamahhashikuphazamisa ngokumangazayo, ngokuhluthula izintambo nesikhathi esishubile, kumiswa amanothi azwakala ngokungacaci ukuthi ngabe uPhilip Glass uzoshaya igoli Psycho. Kusungula ithoni eguquguqukayo, bese iphonsa ingoma yomsakazo ekhohlisayo ekhala evumela iziqiniseko ezingacacile ezifana nokuthi "ungenza noma yini ofuna ukuyenza" ngenkathi uMeyi ethenga amathuluzi okuzama ukuzigcina ephila. Imininingwane enhle kodwa ecashile egqamisa ukuthi lesi simo sonke siyindida kanjani (sikhuluma ngomhlaba wefilimu nomhlaba wonkana).

Ngokubukeka, Lucky kuyisimanga ngokumangazayo ngemibala eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nomhlophe edala umoya ozolisayo, ngakho-ke icasulwa ngodlame oluqubuka ngezikhathi ezithile esibukweni. Kubheka iqiniso elibuhlungu lokuthi induduzo ayilinganisi ukuphepha okulingana. Kufana nokulingana okubonakalayo kwe-aromatherapy; kungakwenza ucabange ukuthi unokuthula, kanti unjalo ngempela? Le mininingwane ecashile idala ukuzwa okujwayelekile okuxubha phezu kokuxaka, kwenze konke kuzwakale njengohlobo oluthile lwephupho elilungile elingaze lixazululeke ngokuphelele.

Ukwengeza kule khwalithi enjengephupho, uKermani wandisa okungenangqondo ukuze uqhubeke ulindele uMay ukuthi avuke ebusuku obuyinqaba kodwa obungokoqobo. Uhlala uzithola ungabaza iqiniso. Iyasebenza, inikezwe izingqikithi nodaba lwendaba, futhi iphakamisa izinto ezingaphezulu kwendalo zefilimu ukuze kuthi lapho kukhanya kuyinqaba enza kwenzeke, akuyona ngaphandle kwendawo engenzeka.

Lucky unamathambo amaningi okufanele awakhethe. Kepha ngakho konke ukuthumela kwayo okungafihliwe, kuyifilimu ehehayo nejabulisayo. Ukhona lapho noMeyi empini yakhe eqhubekayo, umenzela ukuthi anqobe. Ufuna ukubona lo mfana ethathwa phansi.

I-subtext imbozwe kancane kakhulu - icishe ibe buthakathaka njengesando - kepha indlela iyalinganiswa. Lucky iqhubeka ikhomba umunwe wokumangalela ngokungabi bikho kwesenzo esithathiwe, inani lesisulu elisola nokuzithoba, kanye nezindaba zobulili esizakhele njengomphakathi. 

Phezu kwakho konke ukunakwa okulethwe odabeni lokuhlukunyezwa kwabesifazane, kuseseyinkinga eqhubekayo engapheli, nokuyinto engenangqondo njengokuhlanyisa. Abesifazane abazona izisulu zemvelo; lokhu akuyona into ejwayelekile. Lucky empeleni udinga ukuthi ukwazi lokho.
