I really feel like they could have done the eyes better, like just have them wear colored contacts or something and it would have looked way more natural instead of this weird effect where every time he blinks you can see it. I suspect that is also what made this video more "high budget," is the cost of the SPX.

the snippet Nate posted like a month ago singing in front of a window....looked 10 times better LOL. I always pictured this song as a "warm scenario" despite the pain of the song. Some sunset, golde hour shots, maybe remembering scenes together from the past. Or maybe they singing in an abandonde house or even village, or maybe something like With Me by Sum41....
idk....anything but This?? LOL. It just doesn't fit the vibes of the song AT ALL. The eyes look stupid and with no purpose. The acting is cringy at best, Nate standing up next to her playing the piano looks ridiculous LOL and the bath tub flower situation is the only thing that's beautiful and worth watching. (Nate scene singing in the chair too, the scene looks pretty)
But that's it. I'm glad this collab exists, i like this direction. I appreciate the effort of the music video, but....she needs better creative directors honestly.

Can't even tell if Avril has the white eyes or not because of all the eyeliner
Video reminds me of Avril and Chad's one let me go.

Surprised by all the negative comments, particularly after coming off of the Love Sux era. I appreciate the return to her HAW aesthetic. I think the song is rather simple, so it doesn’t really need a grand video. I thought it was gorgeous either way. Clearly the zombie eyes represent disassociating after a break up… the effect could have been better executed, but it’s a music video y’all. I honestly think this is the best she’s put out in years

Enough with the fake piano playing!
Her lip sync looks confusing cause it doesnt match the sound at all but I guess all in all the video is fine? Nothing special but very Avril. The song however is bad, her voice sounds annoyingly high and screamy

Well... I liked the aesthetics. They remind me of the music videos for LMG, HAW, "Devil", and WYWH. I also liked Nate's passion, he's a pretty good performer. That's unfortunately everything positive I can say about this music video. Everything else is kind of meh tbh. When Nate said he got to play a zombie, I'd expected there would be some kind of storyline, but there's none that I could see. I don't even really see a zombie, I just see two people without pupils for some reason, looking lost, unsure what to do. And one of those humans is really bad at lip syncing and fake piano playing, jeez. Like, girl, where's the passion?  I feel kind of bad for being so disappointed in this music video. IIRC, Nate said he had a lot of fun; it sounded to me like he was really proud of it. I don't want to ruin those vibes. I also have to mention that I'm a little disappointed they didn't seem to get sponsored by a coffee brand. I was looking forward to roasting (pun intended) some really bad, way too obvious product placement when Avril sings those coffee lyrics. Missed opportunity for all coffee brands out there imo.  /half-joking |

I saw that too which makes even less sense how the eyes effect is still so bad. It completely looked like CGI to me.

I wonder if there was a blur effect added on top to blend out the pupil filters (tiny dots for him to see through), and when his eyelids close they’re cutting through the effect and maybe that’s what we’re seeing that seems off

I didn't think anything looked off tbh. I can't see any effect except when they do the shots where their eyes go from white to normal but people often mention things looking badly done on here and I just can't see it so...

In the opening scenes when it’s just Nate, every time he blinks you can see something looks kind of glitchy. Idk how else to describe it. |

I just watched fullscreen on my laptop and I'm pretty sure it's just his eyelashes coming down when he blinks |

They played this on my local radio station this morning. Quite unusual as I’ve never heard an Avril song on that station before.
