That’s kind of the plot of Midsommar. The main character loses both her parents and her sister, but her boyfriend is really detached and uninterested in helping her move through her grief. In fact, it turns out he’s been planning a trip to get away without her going along, then she finds out and he feels guilty so he brings her along anyway. And in this new life, she’s about to find the community that can nuture and support her at HIS and his friend’s expense.
I think all of Ari’s recent works have been centered around loss, in some way or another. Maybe Beau being centered around loss is kind of stretching it, but that movie is so crazy it is in a category of its own.
Imagine breaking up with someone because you “saw their true nature” when they lost their dad.
