* ADateWithRosiePalms: Since both Dylan and Rebecca can experience each other's senses, this doubles as their love scene in the movie.

* ColourCodedCharacters / ColourCodedForYourConvenience: It's quite subtle, but throughout the film Rebecca is associated with cold tones and Dylan with warm ones, as she lives in snowy New Hampshire, wears monochrome outfits and blue a lot and spends a lot of time in a dark, vaguely blue-ishly lit house, while Dylan lives in the New Mexico desert and wears reds and browns, his house is very warm-toned and even in his darker spaces (the bar, outside in the evening, etc) the light is generally firelight or heavily golden.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Dylan's friends from school and criminal confederates, Bo and Lyle. Lyle's the dunce, Bo's the smart one.

* NotSoDifferent: Dylan and Rebecca are both, at their core, deeply lonely people. Part of the reason they take to their newfound bond so quickly is that it gives them each a way to escape the isolation of their daily lives.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: A bizarre example, Dylan and Rebecca have actually been present in eachother's lives since they were children, with neither one of them knowing the other was a real person until years later.

* LongDistanceRelationship - An unusual play on the concept, since Rebecca and Dylan have never met in person at all when they become aware of each other, several hundred miles apart.

* DomesticAbuser: Rebecca's husband, Philip, an emotionally abusive ControlFreak who corrects her constantly, forces her to change clothes, reads her the riot act for having a breakdown, throws out anything that connects her to her past and, in the end, has her medicated and committed to a mental institution when he believes she is cheating on him.

* NotSoDifferent: Dylan and Rebecca are both, at their core, rather lonely people, and take fairly quickly to their newfound bond partly because it gives them each a way to escape the constraints of their daily lives.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Dylan's friends from school and criminal confederates, Bo and Lyle. Bo's the dunce, Lyle's the smart one.

* RedOniBlueOni: See ColourCodedCharacters - not a completely straightforward example of this trope, but some elements are present; Dylan is an ex-con who occasionally gets into fights in bars and is on the surface more laid-back and easygoing than Rebecca, who lives a convention-bound and apparently perfectly serene lifestyle with her doctor husband and bottles up all her negative emotions.

This is reflected in their personalities, see RedOniBlueOni.

* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: While by no means a genius, Dylan is notably smarter than most of the people around him, leaving him with few meaningful social connections and an obvious dissatisfaction over his lot in life.

* LongDistanceRelationship - An unusual play on the concept, since Rebecca and Dylan have never met at all when they meet each other several hundred miles apart.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Dylan's friends and criminal confederates, Bo and Lyle. Bo's the dunce, Lyle's the smart one.

The story follows two people, Rebecca (Zoe Kazan) and Dylan (Michael Stahl-David), who discover that they have a strange supernatural connection with each other. Despite living on opposite sides of the country, they can experience each other's senses.

* BrilliantButLazy: Dylan is described as this -- a very smart guy mixed in with the wrong kind of people.
* BuffySpeak: It's a Creator/JossWhedon movie, all right. In a drunken conversation, Dylan calls himself a "criminal element man-type".

* DomesticAbuser: Rebecca's husband, Philip, an emotionally abusive jerk who corrects her constantly, forces her to change clothes, reads her the riot act for having a breakdown, throws out anything that connects her to her past and, in the end, has her medicated and committed to a mental institution when he believes she is cheating on him.
