3/5
The film is obviously low-budget but has a smart script and a real feeling for those who would like to turn back the clock. Its modesty on the whole becomes it, and Plaza is a real find. Go to Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian 12/27/2012

Every emotion you could possibly think of plays out on Plaza’s face as she recounts the horrifying story. You want to look away, because it's just such a vulnerable moment. But she is so magnetic, you have to see where she takes the scene next... Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 08/25/2022

Noel L Nov 29 This movie keeps you guessing the entire time. What a new spin on a rom com with an ending that makes you wonder if it is a happy ending See more HippieX @hippiex Nov 17 I liked this film quite a bit. It’s quirky and keeps you guessing up until the end. The entire cast is very entertaining and does a good job with a cool concept. See more Min J. @minjoypig Oct 17 This was great! I like quirky movies and these actors are perfect for their roles. See more Matthew g Oct 15 Even before the last "4 minutes" of the film build up it is an incredible, emotional, spectacular film with no flaws from direction to score. Amazing cast with amazing aspirations with an all time legend motive. 10/10 See more kevenquinlan Sep 22 An unexpected and neat film. Great acting, totally original story. Downloaded it on a whim and enjoyed it thoroughly. An easy addition to your collection. See more nick s @Nick_S Sep 6 It was a low budget film that never promised to land anywhere. The story wasn't strong. But the acting elevated it to an enjoyable watch. I just don't think I'll remember much about it in a week's time. See more Read all reviews
