Alienated

This is a movie labeled as a Drama & Sci-Fi Thriller, but what that label fails to mention is the subtle humor that permeates the entire film. The humor is dry and dark, but should not be overlooked because it breathes life into the characters. This film is an artists rendition of a troubled relationship with Aliens as a back drop that feels at once real and believable.

The dialogue is very strong and the actors play off each other very well. Taylor Negron is an interesting character that brings balance to the tension between the leads.

I've thought about this movie a lot since I watched it and would like to see it again. It a relief to know that movies with depth and feeling can still be made without million dollar budgets.

I can't say I'm a big review writer, nor can I speak for everyone because my partner fell asleep during this movie but bear with me. I watched it because I had recently given up on Apollo 18 and it happened to be lumped into the same genre and couldn't be bother looking any further. I read the reviews on it after watching, which doesn't make sense but the reviews did and I'll explain. If you are in a relationship now or have been in a long term relationship before then you will understand what the characters are getting at. There are no special effects and nothing that particularly stands out at all I hate to admit BUT it did provide something. It more or less revolves round a couple trying to understand each other and get frustrated with each other in the process. Morbid curiosity kept me watching as the married couple tore into each other and if I got one thing from the movie it's a few tips/lines on how to defuse my next argument with my other half.

For that it's worth a 6.

I don't normally write reviews but I am compelled to write one for this excellent movie. Firstly I must say that I felt like I was having an out of body experience witnessing my own life to the letter from afar. This movie was so close to the bone it was almost therapy.

Brilliant script, brilliant acting, it is NOT a SCi-Fi movie at all but a movie about a couple with differing opinions and outlooks on life.

It is quite slow in the first half but after I realized what I was witnessing on screen, I became fully Immersed. In fact, I need to watch it again. So should everyone.

Now it's time for my wife to watch it. She plays the lead actress very well. I want her to watch it alone as I don't think I could sit through it with her because the dialogue is so close to our real life experience. So eerie to watch your own life unfold in front of you.

What a great film! Intimate and thought provoking with strong undercurrents of suspense through out the film. It gives a detailed portrait of the couple Nate (George Katt) and Paige (Jennifer Burry) as they navigate their changing relationship as they try to come to terms with a mysterious sighting. Excellent performances by both Katt and Burry with a script that delves into the heart of each loaded conversation as the couple circles and spars. It gives you a great look into each character as they lay out all of their hopes, flaws, quirks, and hot buttons with an intimacy that so closely borders on claustrophobia as those worries and insecurities begin to take over. An intriguing turn by Taylor Negron as Griffin, the couple's neighbor who both feeds into the Nate's obsession and provides a gut reality check at times. Wonderfully shot with an eye for the detail of daily life.

Saw this film at the Sun and Sand Mississippi Film Festival and I really liked it. For me this whole experience was surreal because it was Taylor Negron's last performance. I don't want to give anything away but it was kind of a strange coincidence that this was his last movie. George Katt as Nate blew me away. What an underrated actor! And Jen Burry showed the world why she has already won Best Actress for this performance. It could not have been easy to have such a balanced performance when Katt kept pushing all of her buttons in nearly every scene. These 2 actors had great chemistry and so did Katt and Negron! The script had some of the best dialogue I have seen in an indie film in years. Very well done by the writer. My only problem with the film was ow slow it moved in the 1st half. But for those that like a slow burn you will have no problem, with the pacing like I did. It is slow for a average movie goer but no problem for those that like character based movies instead of expensive special effects popcorn fests.
