Another Year Together

I've been a fan of Daniel Simon since Lonely Boys and a number of short pieces I was fortunate to find online, so I was really excited when Another Year Together debuted. I can't recommend it highly enough. An excellent script, top class performances, and brilliant filmmaking across the board. This is a film you should definitely add to your annual holiday roster.

Alexandra Turshin and Roger Hendricks Simon were excellent and Pedro Padilla's cinematography was exceptional. Can't say enough about how Simon, Patrick Davin, and Robert Gregory were able to bring everything together so well on what must have been a limited budget.

Fantastic film!

This film adeptly explores the complexities of generational love and relationships against the vibrant backdrop of New York City. Immersing viewers into the everyday lives of its characters, the narrative skillfully weaves through multiple relationships, each entwining with the others-all embarked on a journey through the labyrinth of love.

Director Daniel Simon shines as he captures authentic snapshots of ordinary moments, showcasing his talent in acting, writing, and directing. The film is a testament to Simon's skill in portraying the nuances of human connections with a blend of peculiarity & humor. Well-executed and thoroughly enjoyable, "Another Year Together" is a commendable achievement in the world of independent cinema. Well done to him and his team for bringing this cute story to life!

Another Year Together is more than love, actually. It's a bittersweet ode to relationships in all their messy glory--as lovers, family, friends, husband and wife, therapist and client. We stay at the table despite our collective neuroses, mouthguards, crises in masculinity, foot fetishes. Daniel Hendricks Simon's Manhattan is its own lonely character--only truly brought to life when it is connected to one of its inhabitants. "Is it love or co-dependency?" David asks his friend Jonathan. It may be a little bit of both when you leave a piece of your own comfortable shell behind to take shelter inside someone else's. We love, we lie, we cheat, we shut down, we break apart and, sometimes, we put each other back together. And maybe that's what love is all about. Simon's awkward, poignant, and beautifully flawed characters are part of a story in which we can all find ourselves together.

After having been on the Voting committee for the awards and had to watch many movies over the past few months. This one was a very well coming suprise and kept me engaged! Great acting and script. Truly enjoyed this Woody Allen-ish take on the modern Manhattanites! Really felt for all the characters as they all had their own truths and validities. That's why it was so great to watch because every character had valid reasons for their way of behaving and acting the way they did in their sometimes absurdly way of living yet very NYC ! Chapeau to the a screenwriter, cinematography, actors and anyone else I've missed in this beautiful ensemble.

This is a charming film about the ups and downs of spending the holidays in New York City with friends, and loved ones. This film had plenty of moments that made me genuinely laugh as well as a couple of conversations that were truly insightful which made me think of my own life challenges. There are numerous ensemble characters in the film, all of which are uniquely crafted and serve the story better. The subplot of the protagonist's mother and father really cracked me up. I would recommend this film to anyone, but I would say that it makes it all the more charming to watch between Thanksgiving and Christmas!

It's a gem!
