Folie à deux (Induced delusional disorder (F.24) ICD-10) is in the literature; wikipedia has a nice article about it. However, this is the worst vanity indie film I've seen in months.In the first half or so of the film, we follow Noah around as he tries to remember his past. He's lost much of his memory in some acute personal event. Several people assure him that this is a good thing. He looks for Emily, finds her, gets past her thorny personality and direct resistance to visiting the past.Supposedly Emily and Noah are linked by a psychiatric disorder which lets them know each other's minds. Even worse, they see visions of bad things happening to those around them. It's tough for Noah to recall. For similar reasons, it's tough for Emily as well. Even worse, they are not able to ward off the bad things happening.The first such event was when they were around eight years old; the second around when they were high school seniors. The first was a bus crash. The two of them recuperate, more or less, in the same hospital. The second was a fire, the culmination of a sequence of unfortunate events during late high school.All this is nonsense, and assigned to folie à deux, or induced delusional disorder. In this case, "She's crazy and made me do it," or "He's crazy and made me do it." The simpler explanation is "He is crazy and she is crazy." So, own up to it and get them off the streets: two crazy people are over-indulged and allowed to hurt others unnecessarily.-----Scores------Cinematography: 10/10 Fine work. Amazingly good considering the foulness of the screenplay and most of the acting.Sound: 10/10 No problems.Acting: 3/10 The veteran actor Bruce McGill delivered as usual. The rest of the cast was terrible. The two principals were the worst. The three points are for Mr. McGill.Screenplay: 0/10 This was a rat's nest of nonsense of endless re-interpretations. The script is as bad as the acting of the two principals. There is about five minutes of content stretched over 85 minutes. Rotten Tomatoes got it right at 11%.

I loved this movie! Simply put if you don't like art films don't watch it. You won't like it. However if you do like movies that give you a new beautiful experience, you'll probably like it. Phenomenal soundtrack! This is a very dreamscape esk film. Your not going to get the straight forward everything laid out from beginning to end experience like you do with most movies and that bothers a lot of people hence the poor rating. I thought the acting was excellent as well as the cinematography. I personally love the dreaming emotionally driven films(and music) so this movie was right up my ally. I normally don't write reviews but the poor rating that this movie was given on IMDb I felt was very unfair for how good it was. I understand it is a taste thing. It is just unfortunate that preference is mistaken for quality. If you like this type of movie, you can rest assured that it is of quality. This movie is kinda along the lines of Donnie Darko or The Butterfly effect as style and feeling and younger characters just with less of a budget. Despite the lack of budget though unlike some independent films you don't really notice. The film quality and acting If you like those movies I think you'll like this one.

I was randomly looking through movies on Netflix, and lately the recent chain of movies I have been watching are thriller type movies. But the "cerebral" movies caught my eye. The picture for the film was odd enough and the name as well, plus the description had a certain odd attraction to it. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but surely enough here I am typing out a review for it. The acting in Apart isn't bad at all, and the actual movie is put together quite well. With the colors (and just overall theme) that they use throughout the film the movie can seem rather dark and morbid. But after I watched the movie, I couldn't (and still can't) stop thinking about it and thus had to watch it another half a dozen times. So obviously I love the movie. There isn't any nudity. But there is some language. And the movie may be kinda disturbing to younger viewers. But overall it's a great movie that i would recommend to my friends, and encourage you to watch as well.

I friend of mine saw this movie at SXSW and recommended it to me. I'm not a big fan of independent films so I was reluctant to take her advise, but I'm so glad I did. I was surprised to see recognizable actors and actresses like Bruce McGill and Joey Lauren Adams. Josh Danziger and Olesya Rulin were awesome in their lead roles. There are several twists and turns in the story that kept me engaged throughout the film. Its rare to find an independent film put together this well. I didn't really feel like I was watching an independent film. The cinematography was great, the story was engaging and the acting was really good. I would definitely recommend this one.
