I liked the idea of this, but not the execution. I thought it was a little too positive and confusing. The characters had bad memories and the mind laundry was supposed to get rid of them, so the characters could enjoy life. But at the same time, there was this constant message of dealing with the past and just reframing it in a more positive light. It seemed like the message was to deal with bad memories and just be more positive about things, and yet characters were allowed to have memories erased. I also could not tell how much time was passing, so that was annoying. I'm not sure that was important to the story, but it did bother me.
