disasterplain I like this movie a lot. The acting was excellent, and the dialogue was spot on and realistic, not tritely on the nose expositional as so many films. The emotions were also beautifully conveyed by the actors with expressions and gestures as well. The scene where Adam's realization is made clear is heartbreaking, and the backward way in which the narrative unfolds is artfully accomplished. I just saw this in Europe, and can't understand why it did not receive a wider release here. The music, by Michael Small is truly beautiful, the acoustic guitar perfect for the emotions conveyed and the pastoral Berkshires locations. Definitely worth seeing.

Yoly-2 The dialogue in this film is outstanding, and the male characters are representative of a wonderful relationship between friends. It also speaks of how difficult it is for some young adults in their late 20's and early 30's to leave their childhoods behind. How good people who love each other can hurt one another. I truly enjoyed this film, and it left me thinking about the characters and their lives. They were so very real and representative of many of us that I continue to wonder why we behave as we do.

cdexter1 I'm not going to reveal the plot, but you can figure it out yourself after the first five minutes. This shouldn't stop you from seeing the movie, though, because you will still be on the edge of your seat rooting for the characters, whom you will come to know and be passionately involved with in the course of the movie. The acting is uniformly excellent and completely seamless; you get so involved with the character you feel you actually are there with them living their lives, and you forget that you are only watching them on the screen. The actors can't take all the credit, because the dialog is realistic to the point of being slightly uncomfortable to watch. I can't say whether it is the acting, the directing or the screenplay that deserves the credit here, but you could also say the same for American Beauty.I am writing this two days after having seen the movie and I still somehow feel that everything that happened in the movie also happened in my own life. Can you really expect any more from a movie?

Ice Tea I liked it a lot. Good relationship type film. Intelligently written and played. Would that all films were this simple and good.
