Theo and Nat live in Brooklyn, they are an engaged couple
getting married soon. Theo is a
wedding photographer but he’s bored with the set routine of taking this type of
pictures. He comes up with a side
business called Gumshoot, this is a service where clients hire him to take
pictures that are not posed but part of their everyday life outside their homes. He becomes infatuated with a woman with
the client name of Subgirl. He’s
obsessed with following her above and beyond the photography job. Nat develops a staph infection in a cut
on her thumb; she is hospitalized for antibiotics to combat the infection. Instead of taking care of Nat, Theo abandons her to the loneliness and
boredom of her hospital stay so he can fixate on Subgirl.
Not very much going on here, Theo has a
job with a lot of freedom and a side job with more freedom but he wants even
more freedom. When do you reach a point
where you have so much freedom that you are not in the relationship anymore? He’s so involved with himself that he
has nothing left for Nat and she’s not asking for very much. 2 ½* (This movie is so-so)
