Life After Ex

Imagine for a moment trying to end your marriage when it's not even legal in every State, and attempting to rebuild your life in the process. This Nebraska Independent film tackles this issue in a most entertaining, albeit real, way. It's a story with heart, portrayed by some excellent local actors, cinematography and scene concepts. Hollywood does not have the corner on the market, there is amazing talent everywhere. I saw "Life After Ex "at the Prairie Lights Film Festival in Grand Island, Ne.

Ok so this is not an oscar worthy project. Obviously made on a shoestring budget, and with actors who have a ways to go to learn their craft, it's not the best movie you'll sit through.

What this film does have is a heart, even if it's burdened down with 2 dimensional characters.

I found Nick Knipe a loveable looking actor, he was no worse an actor than the Rock, and that goober stays WAY too busy!

So enjoy the movie for what it is, a low budget romance, where gay people aren't bashed for being themselves.

This has to be one of the most poorly acted gay themed movies I've ever seen. Barely watchable. Don't waste your time.

There you are, standing right at the edge of the life you always imagined for yourself; about to take a big step forward. You breathe deep and close your eyes, unable to believe your luck. The door's half open. Your foot starts.

Everything has come together--finally. On your left the view's great. To your right things couldn't look better. What brought you here makes you strong. Nothing can beat you now. You lift one foot. Your hand pushes the door open. Then, in front of you, that life you are about to step into isn't there. It never was. Everything around you crumbles.

A feeling like the one you'd experience in such a situation permeates throughout "Life After Ex"-not a comedy, but a splendid dramatic piece with subtle funny moments scattered here and there.

This indie film not only explores the fragility of love and the longing for deep human connections in a meaninglessly overconnected world, but also that of perception in the ever-changing puzzle that is self discovery.

I walked into this movie knowing nothing about it. When it was over, I had this strange and happy feeling that I had just discovered a rare gem with a real and unpretentious thing to say.

Fun seeing your own city in this movie, cast is fresh and keeps your attention the whole time! Good movie for being a low budget film!
