Characters are unlikable, there is no story of note, acting is mediocre. This is just altogether a bad movie. The atmosphere was impressive but that alone did not carry the movie. Nothing interesting happens. It's a potentially interesting premise but the execution is terrible, short sighted, and boring. The main characters are just bad people and the male is just annoying to look at and listen to. Please find anything else to watch except this.
It caught me from the very first moment. It's B&W. This movie shows the true feelings. Emotions. Reaction. Have you met somebody, who used to be so close to you, after so many years ... I was fully in that movie. Listen to every dialog. There is nothing I would have changed. This is perfect example of how the movies about relationship should be filmed. Nothing else, just two of them.
You never get over your first love. This is a story about Amanda and Jim. Reconnecting after two decades apart. They spend the day together reconnecting, falling in love, and opening up old wounds.I love the well-written, dialogue-driven films and when these types of films are done well they rock! It's probably why I love Richard Linklater so much as this film fits his style and this film reminds me of "Before Sunset" which is one of his films; and boy does this film deliver.Sarah Paulson and Mark Duplass knock it out of the park. They were amazing. The chemistry felt so real and just worked on all levels. Also, the choice of making the film black and white really added to the film's atmosphere. The only thing I didn't like about this film was the abrupt ending. But that can be forgiven as it isn't about the destination, it's about the journey getting there that really counts. And like I said this film delivers. This film is definitely worth checking out and you can find it on Netflix. You will not regret watching it.
Mark Duplass has written a screenplay of subtle beauty that really is transfigured by both actors that grace the stage. I got this film for free and I must say that I feel a bit guilty for it. It heralds joy and nostalgia and reality in subtle measures. It is beautifully crafted; I think shooting in black and white was a strophe. I usually avoid b & w but I think it complimented the tone and the titillation here. The chemistry between the two main actors speaks of colour.I will buy this film or it will pass like a mandala.Either way, It is quietly beautiful, I hope someone reading this can enjoy it in new ways.
