Susan K This movie grips your attention and emotions from the start! The scenarios are extraordinary, Though each one involves Zoom conversations between 2 people the intensity brings you in, not just as an observer but a participant. I caught myself talking to these characters; giving them advice, articulating similar experiences, speaking emotionally about what they were going through etc. This is a must see! Since we've all suffered through a long pandemic you feel their stories in your gut! Susan K Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Penelope L You must see Distant Tales. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Shem Bitterman's vignettes are moving, funny, poignant stories with some great unpredictable twists. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Tom L "The COVID movie genre." I've seen a whole mess of these low-budget, low-wattage, low-stakes movies over the past three years. None of them really registered with me -- until DISTANT TALES. Genuinely clever all down the line, with performances that're knockout memorable, this drama-centric anthology showcases a surfeit of fascinating-characters-interacting-exclusively-via-the-internet (and situations, too, that are surprising, revealing, and involving). See it for both an entertaining ride and a time capsule of recent societal challenges! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Rich R Amazing film! Highly recommend watching! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Mitch R Dark, haunting and quite effective glimpses of lonely lives behind webcams. Can't recall the words "Covid" or "lockdown" being mentioned, but it certainly has that vibe. Makes you wonder what's really going on out there in this big world. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review Elizabeth The film does pretty well for a low budget feature. The actors help elevate the script, though the writing between each story is not created equally. Thankfully none of them felt longer then they needed to be, and even if one isn't to your taste, there is still a chance for a different one to resonate with you. Also each one succeeds in building up a compelling level of suspense in their own unique way. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
