Can You Stand the Rain

Top notch storytelling. Beautiful cinematography. Amazing soundtrack. Incredible cast. Every bit of the production was resonated with me. I felt the characters in my spirit. We are never too old to hear the truth from true long lasting friends. And, if they are truly long lasting friends, the truth will bring you closer together and remind you why you are still in each others orbit. Lovely lovely film.

Can You Stand the Rain is a tender, emotionally layered drama that follows a group of old friends reuniting after the death of the one person who held them together. As grief draws them back to each other, they're forced to confront buried dreams, simmering tensions, and long-forgotten regrets-ultimately discovering deeper truths about themselves and where their futures might lead.

The film shines in its honesty, capturing the raw, often uncomfortable beauty of friendship, aging, and personal reckoning. With powerful performances and soulful direction, it creates space for silence, vulnerability, and revelation.

This isn't just a story about loss-it's a story about rediscovery. Can You Stand the Rain asks not just whether we can weather life's storms, but whether we're brave enough to grow through them.

I highly recommend the film "Can You Stand the Rain", it has a compelling plot, it is an interesting and timeless story about a long lasting friendship, portrayed in a unique way. The film gives a special and unique perspective of childhood friends, their shared memories, grievances and dreams.

Very well paced and timed in the editing, with an excellent job in the selection of a diverse casting, a remarkable group of actors that performs at a great level overall.

"Can You Stand The Rain" is the essence of independent cinema, a group of filmmakers willing to give everything for a good story .

True indie films have heart, depth, solid acting, tell a unique story, and first and foremost make you think. CYSTR has all that. The balance between drama and comedy at first makes you raise an eyebrow, but then (for those who grew up with the '80s and '90s classic comedies) you fall right into the flow and humor of it without missing a beat. Deserves to go up with the other classic films about a group of friends who get together around a moment in their lives and old tensions bubble forth, people get their butt kicked, and they come out on the other side changed. It is not a throwaway film but one that forces you to think about like (and death) and the relationships you have. That's what a good movie does.

Incredible film, amazing cast, and a story well told. Its a big movie made by hand, with an ensemble cast of incredible actors. Writer and Director Eden Marryshow weaves a poignant story that is laugh out loud funny but also deeply moving. Following his previous feature, Bruce!!!!, Can't Stand The Rain expands in scope and complexity. For the film nerds: its like a Robert Altman film by way of Charles Burnett with a heavy dose of Lawrence Kasdan. This is what going to the movies used to feel like: Funny but emotional, touching yet truthful--a story about real people and real life. Highly recommended.
