The central question the film, with its clumsily long title, is this: “Is what we perceive as real… real?” It’s a question of confidence in our own version of reality.
This is an entirely compelling question, one that seems especially timely when so many people these days hold so tightly to their belief in a separate set of so-called alternative facts. In this film the question is also tied up in a romantic quandary, which makes it that much more universal. The heart wants what it wants.
