Don't Say It

This movie was created with a lot of feeling and thought. The characters were well developed throughout the film and multiple aspects of the main characters were presented well. In particular, the attractive feature of this movie is that the audience can relate to the multiple realistic roles as well as the feelings that the actors brought to the screen. It seamlessly tackles multiple human challenges such as domestic relationships, dreams, goals, family dynamics and working hard to achieve your destiny. More than anything, I like how the movie concludes with the feeling that "nice guys can finish first". Take the time to watch this movie. It is worth it.

I just watched the movie DONT SAY IT starring Richard Grosso (also the writer) and Victoria Kellher.

The movie has a lot of strong scenes. It also has very interesting to watch characters.

The movie is directed by Stephen Ward.

This movie was shot in a very creative stylistic way. It's a heart-warming indie rom com! Love it! The storyline pulls you in many directions as you're watching this movie.

This is a romantic ride portrayed on screen that is great for date night. I thought all the lead actors had great onscreen chemistry- so good together. The sets and scenes are great. Check this movie out! You'll remember it!

Wonderful, heart-warming Indie comedy-romance. Rich Grosso, who wrote and stars in this film, delivers an exceptional performance as Pat, a restaurateur and divorcee, who is at a crossroads in his life, having not fulfilled his dreams, when he meets Lara, a waitress, who is also divorced and wondering how she got so off course in fulfilling her dreams.

As Pat navigates his struggles to heal his relationship with his daughter, and to find his way to make his dreams of opening a supper club a reality, he and Lara explore a friendship. Standout acting from Rich as Pat, Victoria Kelleher as Lara, Tony Denison as Rich's therapist Dr. Bernardi, Viva Vinson as CJ, jazz singer and friend to Lara, Joe Pacheco as Pat's brother Paul, and all the actors.

While light-hearted and very funny, this film explores deep issues of trust, facing one's fears, and healing old wounds in relationships. I was moved to tears more than once. Great cover song, performed by the marvelous Jazz singer Viva Vinson (whose real life mother, actress Delores Deluce, delivers hilarious lines as a cafe patron!) Great date movie, or relaxing, rainy day movie. Highly recommend it!

Make no mistake this is not a big budget Hollywood release. What this is however, is an Indie film that flies above much of what the Hollywood machine turns out.

The film does take a good minute to get started, but as you settle in these characters quickly become familiar friends. Pat and Lara aren't your typical rom-com characters, they are human with all the baggage and frailties that often come with middle age.

Both needing a push to get out of their funk and live life, they meet in the old fashioned way in a bar...

As the characters, both hesitant, open up to each other, they begin to bare the wounds life has bestowed. At this point you can't help but to cheer them on.

Rich Grosso's 'Pat' is a man who's past mistakes haunt him and Victoria Kelleher's 'Lara' is the perfect middle aged woman trying to figure out the next chapter.

The rest of the cast are perfectly placed, and the TV newsman and Pat's ex are not to be missed.

No spoiler alerts here, but if you like a good rom-com, this one actually has characters that are human.

Warm and Charming indie film that makes you Laugh and Cry. Shows that all people deserve Love no matter what age and what they have gone thru. All of the actors are stellar. One review compared the writing to Woody Allen and I agree.

Showed it to a few friends and they liked it so much they watched it again with friends of theirs instead of choosing to watch an Academy Award nominated film we had access to and those people were very glad they did. Great date night movie. So far everyone I turned on to this film was not disappointed. So glad that independent films of this quality get made. Hats off to everyone one involved with the making of this film!
