slow development

[orkneyislander · 3/10 · 24 December 2021]

What an uptight edgy bunch of miserable characters. None of them likeable.

Slow plot. (for what it was) Almost gave up on it so couldn't recommend it.

A true emotional and gut wrenching story.

A true emotional and gut wrenching story... This a film about six emotionally broken people that are all trying their best to come to terms after a tragic accident from year earlier. The two lead actors will pull you in and really never let you go... Even after the film ends, you will think about those two people.

Very heavy stuff. A MUST SEE!

This story will take you inside yourself. It will make you think about the choices you've made, and ask you to reevaluate those choices. This film is not to for the faint of heart.

Poignant tale of delayed grief and redemption

[lgaynes · 9/10 · 15 November 2021]

Newcomers work with seasoned actors to create a compelling story of grief and redemption. A difficult subject but important story to tell. Worth watching.

An small budget film worth watching

Well-crafted indie film that touches on some difficult subject matter in a memorable and effective way. Not an easy watch and it starts out a little slow to be honest... but I'm glad I stuck with it to see how the story progressed because it had more layers than I expected. Story kept me engaged, direction and camerawork were great, and the entire cast was on point, especially the two younger leads who were at the heart of the film. Not to mention Michael Ironside featured in such an unexpected role. Worth a look.

Well Done!!!

This film was a true find. It is a heartbreaking family drama, about six people, all deeply struggling with a great loss.

They all deal with it in different ways, and they all are also holding onto deep secrets of their own.

I highly recommend this film. It's not easy to watch. It is vital to watch.

This is the film every indie film maker wishes they could make.

When I first started watching this film I really didn't think that it was for me - I have to be honest. But then somewhere around the 30 minute mark I got sucked in and before I knew it the movie was over, I was stunned and I had to retrace what I had jsut seen. Yes, there are a few things here and there, but at its core this is a really well done movie. It deals well and realistically with the issues of non-military PTSD and suicide. Something that a lot of films don't do well.

The lead actor does an exceptional job making you believe him as the character, not an actor and the lead actress just keeps you glued to her. I'm not really sure what it is about her but she really could be a huge star someday if she is guided properly.

Hard to watch? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.
