    Beautiful Movie

    This is a love letter to the people of the light who touch your life. They make you want to do better and be better. The characters are a mess but they love each other and help each other. The characters are so relatable. You will see you friends and family in each of them. The emotions were never forced. It was so natural.

    Can You Stand the Rain - A Raw, Soulful Indie Gem

    Every now and then, a film sneaks up on you-quiet, unassuming, and then suddenly you're fully in it. Can You Stand the Rain is one of those films. It's honest, intimate, and deeply human. But what really stayed with me? Adesola Osakalumi's performance-a total standout.

    From the moment he steps on screen, Osakalumi brings a calm intensity that draws you in. He doesn't do too much-and that's the magic. There's so much going on behind his eyes, you feel every beat, every unspoken word.

    If you're into indie films with depth and feeling, Can You Stand the Rain deserves your time. And trust me, Adesola Osakalumi is the one to watch. He delivers the kind of performance that lingers-quiet, powerful, unforgettable.

    A Poignant Reunion That Uncovers the Past and Redefines the Future

    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.

    Fantastic

    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.

    Highly Recommended

    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 .
