    Loved it!

    Great honest view of both parties, packed into a good and interesting story. Talking about political views is always critical, that's why I loved this movie. I liked how I was able to understand both sides (minus the violence). This film is a wake up call for everyone to respect each other's reality. My reality might not be your reality and we have to respect that. We have to at least try to understand the other view. This way we can stay united 'not divided' <3. I hope a lot more people see it this way, but I think we are getting there. Because we need to put love first at all times. 'Make each other, don't break each other :)

    A great story, but limited film

    The overall theme and costar were outstanding and authentic. This movie masterfully avoids portraying either side as right or wrong, instead focusing on how social media and legacy media amplify the differences between opposing ideologies. Most importantly, the film highlights the similarities between some of the opposing characters, creating a nuanced and thought-provoking narrative.

    The film's pacing, while slower in some parts, allows for deep character development. Although some scenes might feel prolonged, they add depth and context to the characters' decisions. When the significant moments occur, they are impactful and drive the story forward, even if the transitions could use more buildup.

    Bronsonn Taylor is the standout of this film, delivering an incredibly genuine performance. Every scene he is in captivates the audience, portraying a strong yet vulnerable man caught up in the real-world events of 2020.

    Despite being a low-budget film with some limitations in cinematography, locations, and casting, these aspects also lend authenticity to the 2020 setting. The sense of isolation depicted in the movie, whether intentional or not, resonates deeply with the pandemic experience.

    I highly recommend this movie to everyone, especially those with strong political convictions who are active on the internet. It's a film that will resonate and provoke thought long after the credits roll.

    interesting, sort of.. I guess

    I'll admit walking into the cinema anticipating a documentary. After adjusting to the film's dramatization format, I remained as confused as the main protagonist for much longer.. The film tries to see the world through the eyes of a middle-aged, recently divorced white guy who confronts "woke" or "progressive" animus at every turn. Since the view from "the right" is usually confined to podcasts or cable stations, this was an immersion into the protagonist grappling with hatred from "the left." However, the film left me bored with two-dimensional characters and trite epithets from "the right" and "the left." The audience in St Pete, FL seemed moved that their world view was finally reflected sympathetically. Many in the U. S. feel that their world view has been given short shrift in the film industry so it's important to hear. In that regard, the movie wasn't a complete waste. If I hadn't paid $15, I would've turned the movie off in the first 10 minutes because of the flat writing and many silly characters. The messaging was a sledgehammer ...

    Mostly conservative take on Covid summer

    It's a fairly balanced account of summer 2020, but the lessons are still contemporary- spending too much time on social media and letting politics divide yourself from others isn't healthy, it could even kill you. While it leans conservative and ignores some points for more succinct storytelling, there were liberal viewpoints addressed. The dating aspect is very cute and lends a lot of humor to what could be a much more serious tragedy. Most in the audience couldn't help wanting a Pina Colada. ;) Another highlight to any resident or fan of the Tampa Bay area is trying to locate just where each scene was shot. It's great to see our backyard on screen.

    Great Movie

    Really enjoyed the movie. Well written, thought provoking with some humor as well. Great acting throughout. David Siracusa knocked it out of the park with this film. 100% recommend this movie. Liked the character development with the main actors and loved how Byron came back and stood up for his friend against the mob despite their disagreements and different viewpoints. Wanted to cheer for Byron at that moment. Not an easy topic to make a movie out of but the story was compelling and relatable. The movie does take you back to that time and how divided the Country was (or at least how the media portrays the Country). Great scenery of Tampa Bay as well. Go see this movie!!

    • Trivia
      Initially, two named actors were signed to work on the film. One of them was supposed to be the lead actor. Two weeks prior to filming, David Siracusa and Andrew Huff had to release those two actors due to creative differences. David Siracusa ended up taking over the lead role and Musetta Vander and Daniel Roebuck were brought in to solidify the cast. Production was only pushed back by one week despite the disruption and change in talent.
