Impressive Dialogue
brettlutchman5 March 2010
I actually had to sign up to review this movie. Absolutely fantastic is all I have to say. It's about time that a movie is able to keep the attention of the audience with great dialogue. The fact that for 95% of the movie is simply 2 people talking in a house is incredible. Great job to the directors and actors. Way to keep the momentum building and going. A very great theme and display of real humanistic emotions is depicted here. The story line is very easily believable and the movie could actually be comprised with anyone in real life who would be in those circumstances. Of course, young teenage punks won't have the stamina for this movie as there is no bombs, lasers and naked women :) (just sayin)

Fun film to watch

Saw this at the Memphis Onlocation Film Festival and really enjoyed it. It's set in New York and all the acting was very good and the story kept me into the film. The film is actually pretty short so the story just keeps moving.

People seemed to really enjoy the film in the audience and the festival people really said great things about this film. It's always fun to watch a movie with a suicidal psychiatrist and in parts I was reminded about the film "What about Bob". The ending also doesn't disappoint. It's nice to see Scott Cohen again and his performance is really good! So if you have a chance to see this film go see it.

I saw the final cut for this film at my work, and I have to say I was very satisfied. It does not stop, it has very good dialogue from beginning to end. Its is very well written I have to say, an amazing production from first time director Peter Scarf. Keir Dullea does an amazing performance and Cohen is simply great. The story changes, and it is like the main caracthers are playing ping pong with each other, really amazing to watch. It is set in NY and this really helps to believe the story as you can really find anything and anyone in this great city. It was edited by one of the legends of Cinema, Tim Wellburn, who does a great job in putting the story together, and regarding the pictures, it looks beautiful ! Watch it whenever it is released !
