Details

Young lovers in London are wrapped up in a love triangle that may not be exactly what it seems. Carmen, a beautiful Spanish woman with a tendency to lose her temper at the drop of a hat, is about to be married to Barnaby, a caring, wealthy, but slightly boring Englishman. While out with friends on her 'hen night' she encounters a stranger who suddenly sparks a passion that has been sleeping within her. As her wedding date approaches, she finds herself struggling to put this newcomer out of her mind, but his effect on her keeps growing stronger. What is it that he sees in her, and why does she feel like she's being pushed inevitably into his arms?

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
gridoon2018 What starts out as a well-done but typical "love triangle" tale turns into a smart, multilayered demonstration of the age-old motto "appearances can be deceiving". It's a film that repeatedly pulls the rug out from under your feet, yet all the pieces of the well-put-together puzzle fit, and all the clues are there. The use of video camera shots may seem excessive at first, but eventually you'll find out it was justified; at the end there are none of the "loose ends" that you usually find in this type of movie - all the questions are answered. "Dot The I" is an impressively self-assured feature-length writing and directing debut for Matthew Parkhill, who is further assisted by a well-selected trio of protagonists. *** out of 4.
jboy174 The title of the story "Dot the I" shows an expression of putting the I in the center of relationship. It connotes of self-centering over the other. In other words, self-I is portraying an attitude of selfishness, egoistic and the determining subject over the object- You. Thus, everything evolves on the self- I. When I try to look at closely the title itself, it seems that there must have something lacking on it. The "dot the I" expresses actually an action, i.e. I Love. However, It does not give an indication of who the action of loving directed to. The "dot the I" on the story is not referring neither to Kit nor to Carmen, but on Barnaby's self- subjection. He is actually seeing only himself. He does not considering the feelings of other person. So, to make the story more accurate and complete in itself, it should be therefore- I DOT YOU! It implies a complete object and receiver of the action. But, beware! When you learn to love, be wise in loving.The story has indeed projects different areas of concern of man-to-man relationship. It even touches to the deeper shield of one's world, i.e. committed to his internal-external relationship. My in-depth personal assessment on the story simply explicate on human distinctiveness from object or thing. What I am trying to drive out here is that; human life is precious gift. It entails respect and to keep pure and blameless in eyes of God. I don't like the way the story ends. It should not be a tragic presentation- like on the death of the antagonist, Barnaby. But, I guess, it would be more appealing and touching when it will end having reconciled with each other. I would prefer to see how Barnaby converts himself and make peace and reconciliation with Kit and Carmen. This would allow us, the audience, to reflect in ourselves that in spite of one's wretchedness in life, there is always a room for conversion and reconciliation. In this way, the theme and title of the story end of giving forgiveness which leads eventually to loving one another beyond our human limitations and weaknesses.
catgirl667 I didn't think it was that bad, but the whole reason that I wanted to see it was because the DVD cover called it "This Year's Memento." I can see where they draw the connection, but the movie was too short, and the love affair was not torrid and psychologically wrenching enough. It was worth seeing, though. And who's ever heard of a Brazilian guy named "Kit Winter?" The reason it's so frustrating that this movie wasn't that good is because it really could have been! A little trippy editing and cinematography, a more passionate love affair, Barnaby being a little bit more likable, lengthen it a bit, give us more clues to make us feel really stupid that we couldn't figure it out. Then have it be this closet move that no one's ever really heard of until they see it at Blockbuster and the one guy that you know that's seen every movie tells you that it's mind-blowing, and you'll have "this year's Memento." But then again, if ever year has to have a "Memento," then I think this one fills the void for 2003 pretty well.
serdaretik First of all, the script was perfect, Actings were charming. it was really i need to say it was a movie to watch your eyes locked on screen.. Maybe because i love surprises in story, it really made me feel pleased. this movie gave me what i want from a scenario. i also love Gael Garcia too much. I watch him in Love's a bitch, and bad education. i think he is a wonderful actor. thanks to everyone who has a part, making this film.i recommend this great art of work to everybody. it really needed to be seen.a great piece of art.
