Spoiler alert: The explicitness of the video game has been replaced by intimacy in the live-action version, and I can't get enough of it. The entire episode is one big bit of girly fun that would work beautifully in any gender mode because you will get flashbacks to your own date, where you're fidgeting, you'll be determined when it finally comes, and you wait with bated breath. And when you as the viewer come to the inevitable, it's over. This is the first time when I find it unfortunate that the filmmakers didn't go further, that they let Ellie's pain mature in the viewer's mind, yet didn't transfer it completely. It could have been an uncompromising minute of a hurricane of emotions, and I find myself despairing at the blown opportunity.

Although disappointing for die-hard fans of the game, this episode has solid filmmaking qualities. The set of the old shopping centre is impressive, the atmosphere is gloomy and there is one big creeping problem. Brilliantly built-up and those lesbian moments don’t matter at all.
