Please Say Something seems to be the story of a cat and mouse who live together as a couple and have a terrible relationship. They can't seem to get on the same page and fight over everything. The film is presented in a non-linear fashion and often jumps around, seeming to present either what is happening, what could have happened, or what a character wants to happen. There are seemingly random test pattern screens that pop up as the film jumps from one scene to the next.
I didn't care for this film. There was just too much abstract imagery juxtaposed with random editing and weird-just-for-the-sake-of-it embellishments. I do feel there was some central emotions at play and some strong themes throughout, but I feel the viewer is distracted from that by the overwrought execution of the film.
