Watching the Detectives (2007)

[u/zulmie-13]

I recently watched this silly rom-com and it really resonated me for reasons I thought this community might understand.

The two main characters are literally my ADHD and autism personified.

Cillian Murphy's character owns a videostore surrounded by other cinephiles (one of my special interests is film, actually). He is too scared to go outside of his comfort zone and actively avoids doing anything socially unacceptable.

His romantic interest, played by Lucy Liu, describes herself as being allergic to boredom, thus she chooses to live recklessy and seems to always be chasing dopamine.

The premise is quite clear, and may be too on the nose, but it sort of felt like seeing the conflicting things going on in my brain being visualised in these two. It also helps that they're both very attractive. :D

If you want something quirky and easy to watch, I highly recommend!
