History YMMV / AllTooWell

** One could interpret AnAesop about the importance of healthy communication in relationships, especially in the 10-minute version. In the short film, the argument in the kitchen has the girl acting passive aggressive and not being open about her feelings until she's confronted about them - after which the boyfriend starts attacking and {{Gaslighting}} her. The narration implies that the boyfriend might have grown to regret how he treated her, suggesting that if he had realised the communication problem (as the older partner) then the relationship could have been salvaged.

*** I think the birthday was presented out of order, otherwise it wouldn't make sense for her dad to stare at the door willing her ex-boyfriend to show up.

* SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: As this was released right before ''Series/StrangerThings'' gave Max more screen time, Sadie Sink got rave reviews for how she went against type as a naïve and more fragile character than her usual {{Tomboy}} roles (although ''Film/FearStreet'' fans knew she was capable of those heights).

** Then it wouldn't make sense why her dad was staring at the door willing her ex-boyfriend to show up.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: One of the first lines mentions the ex's "sweet disposition," but the 10-minute version and ''especially'' the short film shows him to be capable of being ''very'' nasty to the narrator, even before they broke up. However, the final reel of the film implies he regrets it at least a little bit. So was his sweet disposition real, with him being nice when he's in a good mood, but this being undercut by him having a HairTriggerTemper? Or was he simply ''playing'' at being nice to hide his intentions, and the mask fell away once the narrator got comfortable?

* OneSceneWonder: "Him 13 years later" simply being played by an actor named Jake Lyon.

* TheWoobie: The narrator was always this, the entire song describing her heartache and regret after losing a relationship that clearly meant a great deal to her, but the short film elevates it to a whole new level. Sadie Sink captures the vulnerability and emotional fragility of a (''very'') young woman who got her heart crushed by someone she realized too late never treated her well, and the DistantFinale shows she's still hurt over it, even though she's moved on.
** JerkassWoobie: The most charitable interpretation of the boyfriend turns him into this, albeit with a heavy emphasis on the "jerkass" part. If you believe he genuinely loved the narrator at one point and his original niceness was real, he comes off as a deeply, ''deeply'' flawed person who has genuine remorse about hurting her, but is either too proud to apologize, or knows it's just too late for that. Creator/DylanOBrien summed up his feelings about the character pretty succinctly when he declared, "Fuck that guy!", but also plays him with moments of sadness and regret that seem sincere, especially when he's shown walking alone in the street after the breakup. None of this excuses his actions, but he still comes off as oddly pitiable in that moment.

* EpilepticTrees: Who's the actress who comforted Taylor? Creator/JenniferAniston and Creator/AnneHathaway are popular guesses.

* ArcFatigue: Taylor was worried that the original version of the song was too long and wouldn't be able to engage her listeners, which is why she enlist Liz Rose to cut it down. Her fans were incredibly receptive to the song and have begged her for years to release the original 10 minutes version. And she did. To absolutely glorious applause from fans and critics who consider the new version just as good or even better than the original version.
