The title comes from a Wordsworth poem, translated: Sometimes life goes horribly wrong, even though it seems like it will be fine when you’re young.  But don’t be a baby about it, just forget about being happy. 

Oh look!  Someone put a photo on the internet of the exact moment when I burst into tears!!  Here it is:

Yep, you both really messed up, and now you’re dead inside.  Well done.

So.. I really liked this film!  It had been recommended to me by several people and they weren’t wrong: it’s unmissable.  But can someone please explain the editing/timing?  Why do at least 50 scenes just end?  I’m a fan of the scene, so while I watched, it felt like a forced style that couldn’t catch it’s breath, and it was hard to enjoy.  But now that the movie is over, I’m convincing myself that the desired effect was like that of memory— fading from one big event to the next, with quick glances in between— and I’m liking it more and more!
