Unpacking

This movie is a rare treasure. Yes, I laughed and cried. It's reminiscent of "The Breakfast Club" - a group of archetypes together. We have the "aggressive progressive," the mom who's never taken the time to be her own person, the sexually-liberated one into crystals, the free-spirit and rules-follower sister duo, and the culture- appropriating yoga teacher. I'm a middle-aged woman (hence the John Huge reference) and I've been through many self-help rounds depicted here. It was cathartic to be able to laugh at them without feeling laughed at. Because what this film does incredibly well is show that we're all more complex than any caricature, and just trying to do the best we can. The cinematography and soundtrack are beautiful- but a warning to any fellow vertigo warriors that sometimes the quick camera movements can be triggering. I was very fortunate to see the directors/writers along with many cast members interviewed at the Independent Film Festival and was so inspired to learn about the movie's cooperative creative structure. Unpacking guides us, gently and without being preachy, towards a better way.

If you love Rollercoasters You will Love this Movie.

For something that was just a small budget Film shot within 13 days; kudos!

Worth watching, always captivating and entertaining but also realistically inspiring.

This is Cinema worthy especially if they actually distribute it into Indonesian Market then it will be packed with Line ups at the Indonesian Cinemas.

Awesome casts and disturbingly deliciously Funny ASF.

Face Your Demons are definitely the most powerful description for this movie.

Waiting forward to seeing the sequel to this hopefully

I'll rate it 10/10 because...

I feel like I was Living it and it has some hilarious moments and never boring at least.

It is hard to find a flaw in this movie, and I'm not even going to try. When you put together the acting, script, location, cinematography, and music, the individual parts merge and become something magical. These are people that you come to really care about, root for, hurt for, laugh for. At first, you think you're going to see a smarmy story about sensitivity groups and new age philosophy, as the characters travel to Bali for some sort of rejuvenation buddy experience--and that's exactly what the filmmaker wants you to think. What you get instead is individual human beings behaving in their individual ways. I wish these characters would come to life, pop out of the screen, so I could form a book discussion group with them, invite them over for dinner, and bring them into my life. Please, please watch this film if you get the chance.

As a 30-something woman, I deeply relate to so many of the issues brought up in this film, and I appreciated how direct & authentic the script brought out real life scenarios. I also found it so endearing and comedic - awkward and silly in some parts, and hilariously accurate to the less than perfect moments we all face in life. All emotions wrapped up into an hour and a half. Great acting, and I loved the soundtrack! I was lucky enough to see this on the big screen for their world premiere showing! I look forward to seeing these faces and names in future features - and I wish the whole team, cast & crew, wildly successful careers in the film industry!!

This movie was one of the most enjoyable watches I've had in a while. I went in not knowing what to expect but I love any take on the wellness space so I was intrigued. Right from the beginning it was going to have depth, and very early on it became clear it would have very funny moments; the actress who played Jackie was hilarious (I was laughing out loud). I was most surprised by was how moving it was, with shockingly authentic performances dealing with really emotional topics. I had tears in my eyes at more than one juncture and kept thinking what a special movie this is. I left the experience feeling so satisfied and so glad I watched. For a short film it's truly packed with meaning and true-to-life stories that are more the kind of fare I think people are looking for these days. A film with a message and the right journey to get you there. 100% worth seeing!
