Susan K May 17 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 See more Tom L @tomlavagnino 12/08/2023 "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! See more Rich R 11/28/2023 Amazing film! Highly recommend watching! See more Mitch R 11/16/2023 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. See more Bruce F 10/27/2023 This film has such strong acting and writing it made me wonder why there are not more like it. It is an anthology, so there are four unique stories. This might contribute to the quality of the film because each of the four stories is tightly crafted with spot on performances. I saw it via OnDemand. I believe it goes to other platforms soon. See more Read all reviews
