"Finally, relationship issues abound in films exploring dating and romantic longing. In Out, a film by Nicolas Hermann, a closeted teen must balance a burgeoning relationship with familial tensions.

In contrast to those beginnings, Ari Johnson's One Last Letter centers on Amanda as she must move on after the end of a traumatic relationship.
