- They spent five years writing the script, first remotely and then together in LA.
- Originally wrote the lead opposite Shawkat for a man, and considered a bunch of actors for the part. But once they met Laia, they decided to rewrite the part for a woman.
- Involves lesbians, but isn't a "lesbian story" - no coming out, no exterior adversity. The story is universal.
- The name is from the idea that love is messy.
- They shot the film in 24 hours.

and it clearly says that the film involves lesbians, but without it being about gay adversity, which is something more mainstream films need to do. not everything about lgbt lives are about oppression.
edited to say: at the source they clearly state that both of the leads are lesbians. now i'm even more confused as to where your "straight girl tired of men, trying out a woman" came from. this movie is literally what you're complaining it isn't.

bored by the notion that these straight girls are so ~clever and enlightened~ that they discover a ~new way~ of intimacy like yeah 20,000 years later than everyone else.
