Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
motivatedmonkey I put this movie on for background noise, and by the 15 minute mark I was more committed than most movies I have seen. The twist and laughs the sad parts and the drama. It had a little of everything and when it finally wrapped up I had to go online and see what others thought right away. I see the majority felt the same. There are a few out there, as there always is that might not get it. But def. worth seeing.
thekarmicnomad This film looks behind closed doors into the sex lives of a bunch of fairly normal Australians who live in the same area.This is not a documentary or is it a serious film, it is a light romantic comedy.The characters involved realise some of their sexual fantasies with their partners. The film flits from family to family examining some of the emotional and situation byproducts of these fantasies. To have a sexual fantasy is one thing, the logistics of carrying it out can be another thing completly.What is so good about this film is its lightness and grounding. There are no crude, silly jokes about dildos and at no point does anyone run around in a gimp suit wearing a strap-on. The characters are realistic and endearing and you really do feel for them.The acting and casting is great! The production and lighting is excellent.I found this genuinely funny and intriguing to watch.Despite the subject matter there is no nudity and the sex is handled very responsibly.A very good, light film about an intriguing subject with laughs on the way What more could you want?
secondtake The Little Death (2014)A quirky, funny indy film about young people trying to stay in love through sex. It involves a series of different couples who each try to keep their love lives alive in different ways—and with most of them backfiring. While never quire hilarious, it is consistently witty and surprising. Yes, a dark comedy of sorts, but very bright and light, too.The lynchpin is worth seeing the movie alone. That is, a deaf man calls a sex line through an online interpreter, who can read his hand signals and repeat them to the sex call provider. The layering, the surprising wit and double entendres, the wonderful acting both restrained and comic, it's all nothing short of brilliant. Textbook brilliant. See it, at the end.There is eventually an interweaving of stories that might seem forced, but really this is about the individual story lines that rotate back and forth, in parallel. In all a beautifully rendered look at young lives in Australia, ordinary people shown to be more than just average. Like all of us.
Kneto Magneto The epitome of a good romantic comedy is usually a Woody Allen for me, and even though I also enjoy the cheaper flicks, I didn't quite think this film would come close to the former, but it does. This film is heart warming and very cleverly written. It was (actually) touching at times and in general really funny. One would think, since it tackles the subject of sex, there would be at least a couple of dumb jokes in there, but there aren't, it's quite amazing. Through it's non-linear writing the movie stays interesting until the end. The acting of all parties involved was stellar!And here comes my spoiler: it's partly tragic! How refreshing, to not sit through a movie that is completely foreseeable and relies on poor plot twists the closer it comes to the end, just in order to wrap up everything nice and neatly. The makers consider the viewer mature enough to not be completely at loss when there is not "happy end" spelled out at the end, figuratively and literally. (And yet there is a happy end...) I can see that some people might have trouble with these open ends for some of the story lines, but they ultimately make the film believable, and, to me, staying realistic is a desirable quality in film and not of disadvantage. Seeing this in a romantic comedy is a healthy change from the norm.
