Run time: 88 min. | USA | Language: English
'Breaking Upwards' explores a young, real-life New York couple who, battling codependency, decide to intricately strategize their own break up. Based on an actual experiment devised by director/actor Daryl Wein and actress Zoe Lister-Jones, the film loosely interprets a year in their lives exploring alternatives to monogamy, and the madness that ensues. An uncensored look at young love, lust, and the pangs of codependency, 'Breaking Upwards' follows its characters as they navigate each others' emotions across the city they love. It begs the question: is it ever possible to grow apart together?

There's some meandering in the middle but the 3rd act completely rescues this film. More than just a 20-something angst piece about young love, Breaking Upwards accurately depicts the effects that family dynamics and personal insecurity can have on a maturing relationship.
