A sweet series of vignettes about love in all its forms, how it begins, how it ends, and the messy middles.

The actors were incredible! I was so impressed with the character choices and physicality that immediately distinguished the current scene's character from previous ones. Even though we only spent a few minutes with each character, they each felt believable, and the scenes we saw play out onstage felt like real moments between two people who have a long history together, or are just starting one.

I also really enjoyed just how varied the scenes were! We saw familial relationships, romantic relationships, and friendships represented as different forms of love. The scenes were also varied in style, which kept things interesting. That being said, this sometimes also made for some longer transitions between scenes.

This is one of those shows that I'm probably going to be thinking about for a long time. I know the exact point of the show was that we only see little snapshots of all the lives happening in this apartment building, but I do wonder what happened to some of those characters.
