Such a clever and heartfelt movie!

This is such a heartfelt and clever movie. I love the metaphor of clearing one’s house as a way to let Jean realize the different ways she can “move on”. She went on to realize that some past relationships can be mended but some are too hard to hold onto. It ends on a bittersweet note showing that she can’t reconcile with everyone but at least now the audience knows, and hopefully she does too, that she has a heart. The movie is a great way to teach us the complexity of moving on from the past, good ways to do it and bad ways to do it. It also is good at showing the complexity of moving on from the past and why it doesn’t always result in happy endings. I don’t know if she grew to be more vulnerable with the people she cared about, because she ended up of throwing everything out in the end and concealing her true feelings about her ex to her friend, but it seems like she still cares cause she cried in the end, so I can only hope that she is better now.
