No pun intended - if you have to act for an App. If you do things, to make yourself feel good .... well this will no turn out for the best. It doesn't seem far fetched to be honest. We are quite bound to our digital ... "self", to a shell, to another "home". We post stuff on social media to make ourselves feel better. There is even a job called "influencer" - something I am certain people many decades ago, could not imagine be something you could make money off.
But back to our romance. It starts with a crash ... which seems bonding. But the cracks start to show, when the pair participate on a points system. Getting points for doing something for your partner ... again, can be seen as something positive ... but can also backfire. I don't think it is a surprise what direction the movie will take ... still well played/acted and some interesting twists.

Too good to be true
Interesting idea, piss-poor execution
While the idea might sound fun at first, the characters are incredibly flat and most of the acting is terrible; Lopilato and Minujin, the leads, try to do what they can, but they can only do so much, and the supporting actors are awful.
The deus ex machina that's at the core of the movie (the device and app that scores points for being a good partner) is by far the weakest point of the movie. We're told it's really advanced and it can measure the users' mental state, but in reality it has no sarcasm or fraud detection, thus enabling a lot of really toxic mechanisms to "game" the system.
Unfunny, trite, and rushed. Do yourself a favor and look for another movie.
Not Bad
I did not have high expectations before watching the movie. In general, it can be said that the acting of the leading roles was acceptable. The story had a strange narrative, it can almost be said that the machine gave points fictionally, that is, it had no scientific basis and a little more effort should have been made to make the machine more scientific. For example, when the actors realized that they were pretending and gaining points, the machine nevertheless It gave points, as if the software was just waiting for affectionate or romantic phrases to be issued to give points, contrary to what was said, this device can measure the level of serotonin and dopamine, etc. Because the level of these neurotransmitters does not increase by pretending, and this was the bad point of the story. The software should have worked in a scientific way and really gave points by increasing the level of serotonin and dopamine, and recognized fakes and lies.
At the beginning of the story, it was good because Belen and Federico didn't know that they were pretending, but after the truth of the matter became clear, the device kept giving out and it was a bit strange and imaginative.
There is nothing wrong with using imagination in the film, but when such an imagination has a scientific basis, it should match. I think that if the device worked well, they would have realized sooner that this lifestyle is not useful and they should avoid pretending and lying.
In the end, it can be said that it was not a bad movie and it was worth watching once, and its positive points were some funny and interesting sequences of the movie, apart from the concept and final content and the purpose of making this movie.
Finally, I apologize for some errors in this text due to my poor English.
