Hearing this kind of thing leaves me baffled. Perhaps if people went into the film expecting a thriller or a simple romance, they wouldn't assume they'd have to think. But even going in expecting a simple romance, some should have gotten it.

Anyway, the biggest part missing for me was an emotional attachment to the characters. I could have forgiven the straightforward and condensed narrative if I cared for these people. I didn't, but that's just me.
