Somebody I Used to Know (2023) follows a woman named Ally who, upon returning to her hometown, begins to reminisce about her first relationship. This movie is a pleasant surprise! The last half is so much better than the first half, it's full of emotion and touched me on a personal level!
The cinematography is fairly average and the film doesn't include any unique camerawork. It's not bad, but it isn't impressive either. There aren't any notable colour palettes too, but the lighting is nice! Additionally, I really like the pretty setting of the movie.
This film has a great soundtrack with a lot of iconic and recognisable songs. The music used is upbeat and very fitting to the tone of the movie and the score itself is very pretty; it compliments the film nicely.
The characters are a little weak at times, but the actors do a great job at bringing them to life. Ironically, the character I found the most unlikable was the protagonist Ally, but Alison Brie is a good actor and has a lot of chemistry with her co-star Jay Ellis. I particularly enjoyed watching Kiersey Clemons as the likeable and unique Cassidy.
Lastly, this movie is an easy watch and although it doesn't really do anything unique, I still had a good time with it. It has some cringeworthy moments and some scenes go on for way too long, but the last half is very heartfelt and actually incredibly emotional and touching!
