Notice to Quit

This is a refreshing Indie film without the cliche , tiresome , heavy handedness, of most new films today. There was no preaching or teaching, just good old fashion cinema, a film you can watch and enjoy , with great acting and great direction. There are five stars here that are worth noting: 1. Michael Zegen- carries this film through it's arc, with comedy and intensity perfectly balanced.

2. Kasey Bella Suarez- Movie Debut- she is a stand out , incredible performance.

3. Michael Angelo Covino- Hilarious.

4. Simon Hacker- Directorial debut, He daringly chose to film on 35 mm, film is beautiful to watch 5. New York City- Its' been awhile since we've seen you filmed so deliciously, your personality , beauty and grit is captured perfectly.

I thought Notice to Quit was a very believable father - daughter story - true to life set in gritty New York city! Great acting by Michael Zegen, Bella Suarez and Robert Klein! I know this is an early film for new-to-the-scene writer/director Simon Hacker but you would not know it from the quality of the visual imagery, integrated story line and solid casting. Shot on Kodak film, the film captures NYC in true grit. I would highly recommend this film for everyone. Note there are no awful scenes that would make you cringe if you have kids with you. Enjoy this gem! This film is a must watch - I give it ten stars!

While this film may not align with my typical preferences, I was pleasantly surprised by its strong execution. The cinematography, production design, and post-production work were top-notch, creating a visually engaging experience. The pacing was well-balanced, keeping me entertained throughout, with only a minor lull towards the end.

While the writing and character development could have been stronger, the film's technical aspects and overall entertainment value make it a worthwhile watch. The main character, though flawed, was intriguing to observe. The climax, while a bit predictable, was still satisfying to witness.

Overall, this film offers a unique and enjoyable viewing experience. While it may not appeal to all audiences, those who appreciate well-crafted visuals and a decent storyline will likely find it entertaining.

There is a fairly strong story here with some good scripting and acting. Interesting characters that are rather shallow.

The movie takes place over a single day a father and daughter romp around the city of New York. There is a lot going on in the background as one would expect from a story that moves throughout a city.

There is heavy use of stereotyping and troping but it feels like the story is building towards something. Then it just sort of ends.

Nothing has shifted. The father makes a few empty promises to his daughter, an air conditioner predictably falls out of a window and the credits roll with neither of the two main characters getting what they wanted.

Quite the depressing ending to what was otherwise a whimsical comedy.

What an impressive film. The acting was excellent. Better. If I had to critique anything, I wonder if estate agents are that pressed in real life, and who are these appliance thieves that show up out of nowhere? If that is all I got, it only shows WHAT A GREAT FILM THIS IS!

I am so impressed. I switch fast if acting looks forced or generic or has no depth. Everyone was spot on. That is so hard to do. As an example, people go nuts of Top Gun Maverick, but I could not get passed 5 minutes. Same with Gladiator, and I love Peter Weir's work, but not that.

A fantastic film. Everyone should be proud of their work.
