The Story of Us

The Story of Us is that most awkward scene: two people who know each other so well, reduced to polite silence. They perform "fine" in public while everything's already over.

I know that "book at its last page but the story won't write itself" awkwardness. Taylor nails the least dignified stretch of a breakup — still caring, yet forced to act like strangers. It doesn't cry or snarl; it just sticks in an uncomfortable middle.
