I don't know why Amazon thought I would like this but i didn't and I might never like another movie again. I feel like if half of your 2 hour runtime is a man making passionate love to a corpse, the synopsis should really mention necrophilia or something to suggest someone might have an affair with a non-living person. It's just fair warning.

The first half is a man taking questionable steps to solve his intimacy issues which isn't bad in itself but it was uninteresting. The second half is the man failing to cope with the untimely death of his new girlfriend who had previously been the sex worker he hired to spend time with him in a non-sexual capacity, and he just has a romantic time with her increasingly rotted and surprisingly slimey corpse.

I was expecting something to happen to her and for him to spiral into some sort of horror movie darkness because the title refers to her in the past tense and there are little clips of the ending of the story sprinkled throughout so I was just waiting to find out what was going to happen to her and what the protagonist was going to do. Tge what turned out to be that she overdosed and died in his bathroom from a drug addiction that we the audience and the protagonist were unaware of and the ensuing horror movie stuff is that he decides to not tell anyone and just keeps dating her dead body while imaging her still alive. The movie switches back and forth to show us what he sees-that being her alive and well and acting normally- and the reality which is that she is a decomposing corpse. There are numerous sex scenes that flip back and forth from a generic looking bald man having sex with a pretty younger woman to the same man having sex with a goo covered Halloween decoration and it's nauseating. The special effects are actually pretty impressive and I don't know what the budget was but I assume that most of it was spent on the corpse effects. This just made the rotting corpse love interest more upsetting to me but maybe that's a plus. I don't really know. I'm not saying don't watch it, if that sounds interesting then by all means but I wished that I had been warned so I am warning others.
