"Slipaway," the touching story of an unlikely friendship, works thanks to a warm performance from Elaine Partnow.

The motivation behind [the main characters'] unlikely friendship isn't fleshed out enough to get us completely on board.

I had a roll of tissue beside me. Hahah It was good, truly good. I love your stars Fall & Adam. The script was tightly written, no loose ends. As I wasn't up to date with movies & celebrities, I didn't know the cast, I just went by that tiny sentence on the description and watched a downloaded copy on YouTube Premium. I will watch it again & again. I myself had stopped playing the piano since 1998, and, kept postponing playing again. I'll look for other J Pepe & Elaine Paltrow films on YouTube Premium. As sure as sunrise. I will. I'm 68 now but felt like 16 peeping into an old lady's and young musician's life collaboration. Is there a sequel , 'cause Adam set off on a dinghy with Elaine alone on a full sail . Dropped anchor? The tissue patted off tears. This movie is sooo good. Congratulations.

To say that this film robbed me of an hour and a half of my life is an almost offensive understatement. If I ever meet the directors, Julia Butler and Daniel Mentz, I will have no choice but to punch them both square in their slack jaws, and hopefully avenge the evening they destroyed with their cloying wankathon of a "film". If I could say one thing to anyone reading this review who is considering watching Slipaway, it is all I can do to say SAVE YOURSELVES. WATCH ANYTHING ELSE. Please see this as a cautionary tale - do not make the same mistake I did. This was honestly such a sack of shit that it upsets me even knowing it exists. Heed this warning.

I'm afraid I found this a trite film, poorly acted. To be fair the characters were badly drawn so there wasn't much for the actors to work with. An hour and a half I won't get back.

I loved the acting between the two diverse characters of an aged grandmotherly lady and a troubled young runaway boy. Their relationship gels mostly in the inescapable confines of a love old sailboat named Slipaway. Of course the title comes from a deeper concept that you are shown in the developing scenes. Great story and acting with beautiful cinematography.

A story that made me understand that dreams ARE infectious, and if you love people and life, you should dream positive. Amazing 5 stars from me. Good luck
