I agree it was indulgent. I had to wonder if she has a job or other obligations, or if she received a grant to complete the project. Even if there is some kind of fortunate financial support there, I don't think that instantly disqualifies the film as meaningless. I thought it was the actor from Sex and the City, too and then I thought that maybe there are similar guys like that in NYC. But his body and voice instantly made me think of that actor.
Anyway, I could relate in that I often wonder what went wrong in some of my past relationships. I also spent some time indulging in purely sexual relationships with men who did not love me and I eventually suffered the emotional fallout. I understand that I brought that upon myself. I would have obsessively made a documentary about it too if I had the time and money, but maybe now I feel that this is no longer necessary after watching this. I think that I wonder 'what went wrong' for the reason of wanting to grow from it or improve myself. It seems that she did not really want to hear the truth, so she found ways to gather pet peeves about sharing food and such and then minimize them. The pet peeves are rather telling though. Stealing? Not locking your door? She mentioned a lack of boundaries and showed a lack of boundaries by trying to go into a past that in my opinion was best not re-visited because of her poor choices in romantic relationships. Why re-experience the pain of hanging out with a jerk who does not love you? That same jerky guy can treat another woman like a queen because she respects herself, I've seen it happen. Spending the night as well? Boundaries. I think I learned more from reading the negative reviews than the actual film: the people reviewing the movie had more perspective on why she was so often dumped. The neediness and wanting approval are qualities I don't want to admit that I have, and it was beneficial to watch someone in the same situation. I'd rather he told me I snored too much and called it a day.
I was bothered for some reason when the German guy pretended to be a bum. That wasn't funny to me. Some sort of theater thing, impromptu acting I guess. I was really disturbed by his reaction to her question of what makes a relationship last. It seemed pretty straightforward to me. Was it a language/communication issue? Was the answer related to sex and vaginas or something? Stop filming! Intimacy is a dirty word!
