Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times [C]utting through the small-town cliche clutter is Kanters' deeply felt turn... that serves as a genuinely moving portrait of an individual straddling a very delicate line between crippling trauma and mental illness. Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat They succeeded in conveying that passion and producing a professional-looking film with great performances.

Audience Member I loved this movie. Zoe Kanters was delightful, amazing, unique, and her character Emma, stole my heart. She's a breakout movie star waiting to happen. Daniel Weingarten, and Michael Blaustein were very good as well, and all three worked together smoothly. The story was very interesting, not your everyday run-of-the-mill tale. The movie flowed very well, and for an independent film with a very limited budget, I was totally surprised how good it was. These three unknown talents wrote, produced, and starred in the film. I'm very impressed. Thank you for sharing your talent. Here's to wishing these three friends much success! I want to see a sequel because I need to know what happens to the characters. UP There, Again! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Captivating story! The cast was brilliant! Fabulous music scores! The filming in Michigan's U.P showed off a beautiful countryside! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I so enjoyed this movie... Zoe's acting talent is impeccable. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. So beautifully filmed, I recommend it to all. A very touching and deeply felt story line that many can relate to. I will definitely own it and share it. Great job, Zoe!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is so engrossing. It is filmed in beautiful Norway, Michigan and uses local establishments. The characters are very strong and well developed. I've seen this film three times already and encourage all to see it for themselves. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Jan K Cool story quirky performances authentic location. Enjoyed this movie very much. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/19/19 Full Review Audience Member I went to see this movie mostly to support film making in my home state of Michigan. I wasn’t expecting much but both my husband and I agreed it’s one of the best we’ve seen this year. The heart of the story is based on the aftermath of a real crime committed in the small UP town where the film was shot. One of the film makers lived there during that time and the film explores the impact it had on her, and how she and the other main characters deal with their unresolved problems. It’s touching, engaging, funny, and relatable. Zoe Kanters’ performance is a stand out. She has “it” - that inexplicable quality that I predict will make her a star. Amazing what these three young filmmakers could do on a small budget. And of course the setting and local characters are the icing on the cake!
