Where is everyone ???

This is such a great midnight-watch with a lovely storyline and amazing performances. Why is it not more popular !!

I agree. Casper and Becky were fun and charming. I found the ending touching and sad. I get the feeling that Casper didn't come back for Becky after he satisfied his military commitments.I'm not sure if I think he dies in Afghanistan or he/she meets someone else, but I think they ended that night. Wonderful film.

Gideon: I can't think. I can't work or sleep. My body aches for you. I can make you want me again. Let me try... We'll never be over, Eva... I'll do whatever you want, whatever you need. Anything. Just take me back.

Eva: Do you want me, Gideon?
Gideon: More than my next breath. I can't go long without you either, Eva. You're my addiction... my obsession...

Gideon: If you crave something I'll be the one to give it to you. All of your needs, Eva, are mine to fulfill. Whatever it costs me.

Agreed. Caught it on Netflix. Surprisingly good...a modest film that knew what it wanted to do and did it wonderfully.

I'm just watching it right now, but I agree. It reminds me of a highly-stylized version of my personal experience spending the night after my mothers memorial service in my hometown. I certainly didn't go on as many adventures, but I ran into a friend from high school (who I hadn't seen in 10 years) who talked to me on a very serious emotional level that I hadn't really encountered before in discussing my mother's sudden passing or the troubles leading up to it. Throughout the course of the night and a few different bars, we talked about things no one from my "other life" in high school knew. She also shared her own current personal issues. She had a few friends with her and I had one of my best friends with me and we all became a team for the night. At the end of the evening, I ended up walking my best friend back to our hotel on piggy-back and we ate kale pizza in bed. It was probably the best way to end one of the worst days of my life.

Had we been presented with any nefarious opportunities, we would have obliged. It seems like an ultimate truth that you can feel so suddenly close to people in situations you would not have previously imagined. And that, in the deadening vacuum of feeling that is mourning, you can do things you never would have imagined.
