annie d This film takes a poignant look at marriage, relationships, self discovery, and the discomfort that arises when we're not fully in touch with our wants, needs, and desires. It remind us how sometimes we see things and thus do things in a way that makes ourselves or others feel awkward or embarrassed, but do them nonetheless as part of our journey. Sneaking Around pulls you into the life of myriad characters who intermingle in the life of Frances, a woman who has become disenchanted with her marriage and who, in testing out the world around her, embarks on a journey that leads her into new territory both physically and emotionally and brings her into better understanding of herself and her marriage. The story is beautiful told and we are led through the story- and San Francisco -via visceral imagery that makes one feel like the city is a character in itself. The cinematographer did a wonderful job capturing the landscape and essence of the city. I highly recommend this moving and quirky story to anyone who finds the intricacies of life and people interesting. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Nikki C Hilarious. My friend and I were laughing so much during this movie that I think we upset the people in front of us. The whole story is so random and unexpected and the situations are so awkward. Characters reminded me of people I know. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Sophie M What makes this film special is how the city is a character. It is familiar, touching, and having lived in San Francisco myself, I appreciate the attention the writer gave to the setting. Just when the characters are becoming a bit too much, the city intervenes each time with some form of magic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Rene B In this film, characters meet, collide, and navigate fluidity, expectations, and power in personal relationships. “Sneaking Around” took my emotional perceptions to personal spaces of negotiation--both connective and destructive--that I did not anticipate, but appreciate having witnessed and perhaps evolved from emotionally. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Jerrod C This is a must see because it's exciting to see a new director who demonstrates a world view that makes you think they are at the start of a great career. Among the standouts are Mb Weider and Mayumi Roller as Lani who has the stuff to be a bigger star. It's like a tight piece of literature that shows a manipulative woman unaware of her need for control that keeps her from finding love. The film also shows San Francisco in a way that is real and authentic. That with the acting draws us into the story. A realism that makes us feel like we're there. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Yajaira M I am convinced that this film fulfills the ultimate purpose of art: to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. Sneaking Around is a daring and thought-provoking examination of contemporary relationships, set against the shifting landscape of San Francisco. Emily A. Meehan highlights the tension between affluence and struggle, power and fragility offering a profound commentary on love, self-discovery, and the pursuit of connection. With its narrative the film immerses the audience in a powerful emotional experience, encouraging them to rethink the concepts of love and success. It invites contemplation of the intricacies within human connections. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
