Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
I recently saw this late at night with my wife. We were both shocked we had never heard of it. It is truly a brilliant piece of film-making. Though simply shot, the film is put together, by editor Troy Niemans in a way that moves the beautiful story at a perfect pace and allows the characters and story to shine. This is a great date flick, well directed, that relies on characters and story... I miss this kind of film in our cinemas today. Diego Lunes
I really loved this movie even though the end was really sad & I couldn't help but , cry. I wish this movie had been on theatre. I just saw it on LMN & I really think it is one of the best I've seen on there in a long time.
Upon seeing this movie on television, I had not heard of it before. Now, I cannot believe that it was not more widely promoted and shared, as it is so beautiful and touching. Every aspect of the movie was so romantic and dreamy, yet being so raw and honest at the same time. I very much admire the two starring actors, who portrayed the complex and emotional characters so well, making it look so easy. I hope to see more of Douglas Spain sometime soon in movies, hopefully reaching Australian shores. To the film crew, very well done, and to potential viewers, a must see.
Great, touching story with solid acting. I think that both of the lead actors have bright futures ahead of them. The story is well-written-- a tragic story with a soft touch (and plenty of humor). The scenery and cinematography are great. The direction is first rate. An enjoyable evening at the movies...
