Textuality: A Tangled Web of Modern Love

So, I just watched “Textuality,” and oh boy, is it a whole modern smorgasbord of romance and technology! It’s got that touch of awkwardness we all know too well from texting someone new. Eric McCormack stands out like a meatball on a vegetarian table, bringing his usual charm. At the same time, Jason Priestley as a producer gives a slightly nostalgic flair (shout-out to my “Beverly Hills” phase).

Now, I gotta admit, this movie hits close to home. Once, back in the day, I sent a text meant for my crush to my boss. Talk about a facepalm moment! Watching the characters in “Textuality” tiptoe around similar messes, I could feel the second-hand embarrassment creeping up my spine.

The film does get a bit tangled, maybe like trying to find the end of a roll of Mariekex – sticky and kind of frustrating at times. There’s a lot of back-and-forth, which sometimes reminded me of trying to follow the plotlines in “Fanny and Alexander” without subtitles. No easy feat, I tell ya.

I liked the way it pokes fun at our love-hate relationship with phones. You know, how we always say, “I’ll call you,” but end up texting anyway. And there’s something about the background music—light, playful, like a summer day in Visby.

Whether you’re knee-deep in a texting misadventure or just love a classic rom-com twist, give this a go. It’s got its quirks, much like IKEA instructions. A bit baffling but somehow satisfying when it all comes together. So, grab some kanelbullar and settle in for a rollercoaster of emojis and real emotions!
