I didn't really have any idea what to expect from this film. I actually watched it to see if the chemistry Deborah Ann Woll and Luke Grimes exhibited in True Blood would carry over into this other project they did together (answer: Definitely!). But I was surprised that this film had a central theme that will leave you thinking about it long after the film has ended. Woll does a nice job of largely carrying the movie, even though her character of Alice doesn't always seem to be well defined. I've watched this film more then once, and I'm still not entirely sure what her purpose was in finding this place, why she wanted to stay, and why she almost went through with what takes place as the film draws to a close. Strangely enough, Luke Grimes' Charlie makes far more sense, though his character does develop rapidly and sometimes confusingly. Although once his backstory is revealed, maybe some of that can be explained. Their romance is nearly instantaneous, and thats problematic. The fact that it works at all is a testament to Woll and Grimes palpable connection. There are some very interesting supporting actors in this film that make vivid impressions with paper thin characters. The atmosphere of the film, the music, the cinematography all hint at perhaps bigger things to come for writer/director Tatia Pilieva. But for what its worth, I recommend people give this one a view.
It was a great movie. A nice and a different story. Its depicting the pain in life, its depth and the message to move on. Life can bring happiness to U, no matter what happened in your past. Great concept with a lovely message. Enjoyed the acting of cast. Superb. All must see. Improve the rating too because some people watch the movie just by watching its higher rating. Hope the message touches everyone's hearts. Enjoy.I wish all the couples see it.The acting of charlie and Alice was superb.This story shows a small portion of every bodies life because nobody lives a perfect life and no one stays forever.I have seen people in pain and getting difficulties to cope with harsh realities of life.
First of all I will say that I am no movie critic and I don't have the skills of those who can find the right arguments in order to make a review that can be considered of the specialists as "passable". But then, how many of us, the viewers, can say that they possess the right arguments to defend or deconstruct a movie? This is a movie about love and loss, about finding your way out, about believing in second chances and being the referee of your life. When it comes to having lived things that you haven't even thought possible, when your life seems to get to a halt, when you believe there is no way out, there is always one. And hope is always a part of it. Just believe...

How could this show possibly have such a low rating? I looked forward to it every week and watched it with my best friend. It was fun and really interesting. I think that he did not know why this happened to him or really much about how to control it and nothing about ending it was a strength. How could you know? What kind of lame explanation could you dream up? It was a good choice. I was very sorry when this did not return for a second season.
