Details

Separation opens with an absolutely innocent shot of a young girl riding a bicycle. It isn’t until later in the film that we learn exactly what we were watching. And that is exactly what Separation is all about. This is a film that masterfully uses sleight of hand like a highly-skilled magician to show us one thing while setting up something completely different. And writer/director Greg White brings it all together in a tense film with an exciting climax that pulls back all the curtains.

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
adrossan A masterful piece of Hitchcockian suspense ?What a load of drivel.I've had more suspenseful moments completing tax forms than this bag of tripe - there's more horror in the thought of losing yet another 90+ minutes of rubbish wrapped up & sold as excellent indie cinema.You're in it for the money and shill reviews just add insult to injury.At what point does someone churn out a turd like this & think it's good ? No sane adult could possible do so without an ulterior motive - CA$H....Watch a real Hitchcock film to see how its done properly - I kept waiting for something to happen out of all the disjointed mess, but it failed miserably, in the last 10 seconds of the film, to salvage anything from a huge waste of time.Only David Lynch can write scripts for movies like this, and for God's sake when you set out to address the noire, add something to it don't just turn in a feeble imitation.Get a job Greg White, something more fitting to your ability - ditch-digging or mushroom farming maybe, anything where you can play in poop & leave us movie lovers in peace.Shame on you & your shills.
simonmichellepis Making an indie feature length film is extraordinarily difficult, and this is very good film and much better than its 5/10 IMDb rating would suggest.Albeit low budget, and with with some art direction and cinematic choices that reflect that. Nonetheless, it is a surprisingly strong script, with some excellent lead performances, and a nuanced direction.It starts a little slow, but finishes very well, and its well worth taking the time to watch. I challenge anyone to watch the entire film, and say it does not deserve to rate higher than 5.0, or that watching it was not time well spent.
Kevkevrob I'm a lover of Indie films and a follower of Dread Central. So when I read Scott Hallem's review I had to watch this film. I couldn't agree more with how he felt about this film. Separation was such an unexpected surprise I actually watched it again to see what I may have missed the first time around. Greg White tells a story with this film and true to the world of independent film makers made me continue to want to watch. The actors all have great credits to their names, just check them out on their IMDb pages to see for yourselves. I look forward to seeing more films from Birchmount Entertainment. If your a fan of true Indie flicks take a look at this film.
justinrgallego I watched this film with my wife and wasn't sure what to expect, but as everything else in life, you can't judge something on the first few minutes. The director Greg White builds your trust and confidence with the main characters and you connect with their pain and grief. Peter Stebbings and Sarah Manninen are absolutely fantastic in their roles as Jack and Liz. The film is shot beautifully, giving you a feeling of serenity and peace because of the surroundings, but it's none stop suspense, keeping you on the edge of your seat. You're not sure which characters to trust I didn't see the final twist coming at all. It reminds me of a classic Alfred Hitchcock plot. Awesome small independent film.
