Reviews

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
El Joe Cabron Its always amusing to see the very first reviews being honest and negative. Than the people involved in this movie always try to bury the negative reviews by covering how bad this movie is with "positive comments" on how much they liked it with out explaining why. The movie gives no real reason why to like the main female character. The movie just annoyed the crap out of me, the characters are stereotypically fake as hell. Every single person filmed in this movie needs to be slapped across the face because of how much they annoy you. This movie has too many obvious "oh gee what bad luck" moments. It feels more of a home video than a movieYeah just bad and boring and very frustrating to watch adults trying to act like they are still 12 years old doing underage drinking. FAIL FAIL FAIL
callmequirky I enjoyed the movie. The filmography, with long close-ups of faces and eyes, fantasies, and flashbacks or forwards depicted the emotions someone in a similar situation might feel. Watching the film I had, "Oh honey! No! Don't do that!" moments, or, "Oh crap that's awful, I hate it when that happens," and "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps," and "Oh, now that's just degrading, but you probably needed to live through it to get past it," moments. People everywhere have acted out after disappointments and this is a great depiction of someone searching for something both during, and after, an epic loss. The soundtrack was great. I don't know what it cost, but it made me *feel* as much as Titanic ever could, and I assume on a fraction of the budget.
bvtart-348-686049 This film was not perfect. Neither was yours. It was, however, tender and enlightening if viewers would allow themselves to really see the story being told. The film was "all over the place" and the protagonist, that's the main character to you and me, was "gratingly child-like" as some professional critics have said because that's what your life is like when you have lost yourself and your heart aches and you wonder if you will ever be o.k. That's it. The acting doesn't have to be great, the story is. This movie will touch you and give you hope if you just let it. I think more people would be more adjusted if they let themselves go to the brink of existence, go a little crazy and open their eyes to who they can become.
jtaylorjt I couldn't agree more with Sam Morgan's review of this dog of a movie and thank God someone has the guts to say it! This is the kind of movie that gives indie movies a bad reputation and drives audiences back to big box Hollywood movies where there's at least some real acting and talent on display. If the filmmakers had spent half as much time working on their feeble story and lame cast as they seem to be doing in promoting this drab excuse for a movie, it might have been worthwhile, at least indie worthwhile. These guys are just too old to be making movies that look like the work of film school dropouts. Certainly not worth ten bucks in this sick economy.
