<i>The One I love</i> is one soundtrack away from transforming from a dark indie to a full-on horror film. What starts as any other romantic story ends with a bittersweet note on love and its neverending magic. I don't mean to say that it's not a romantic movie because it is, but it's so tragically focused on the subject that it goes way beyond the surface level. The ending twist (which was already given away by the final shot of the two Sophies) summed up the whole message of the movie in one frame. Ethan's (a spectacular performance by <i>Mark Duplass</i>) defeated look and acceptation of the truth: Sometimes the best version of our partner is not someone we'd fall for. We must embrace the imperfections for those are the things that make our journey ours.
