Just Saw this tonight


I just saw this film tonight at a local film club I attend. We had the director and the 3 leads as guests as well.
I felt it was aboslutely wonderful, beautifully written and directed with great performances from everyone. Just a good drama with real emotions and real people. As well as expertly chosen music (the acid trip to I Wanna be Adored being a highlight as well as the music during the final shot). I was able to shake the hand of the director and tell her I loved it quickly in the lobby before I went home. I was hoping online to find a website for the film, production company or filmmaker to find out more information on their work and if the film will get released etc. I would also probably reiterate to the filmmaker Eva Aridjis what a great job she did. I wish her luck and hope for more films from her.
Anyway, it was just a good flick and I hope people get the chance to see it.

It was on Sundance Channel or I.F.C. (can't-remember) ... kinda slow-paced , but when the Mariana Character appeared and It seemed like John was falling in Love with-Her , the Plot began to hold My Interest. I would like to know-More about the Director/Producer(s) + the Cast and Crew. I admire "Indie" Films , particularly Those filmed-in-NJ with what I refer-to as "a New Jersey Feel" to-Them (Urban/Suburban/Rural , All in One Film).

I would agree with the fact that the film featured great performances, however i felt that the film was rather long considering the plot. The film was also very predictable, i personally felt that it could've been done, just as well, and gotten the point and emotions across in a shorter time period, nearly two hours was just a bit much for this slow paced film.
