This is one of the BEST romantic comedies I have seen in quite a while and perhaps ever. And this from someone who is not a big romantic comedy fan.
It was shown at the Atlanta Film Festival on 06/16/05 and received an ovation from the audience in attendance.
I also had the opportunity to meet with both Anthony Ng and Michelle Luchise (who played Alma) following a Q & A and both of them were awesome to speak with and on the proverbial level.
I hope this film gets distribution sooner than later as it is the first romantic comedy that I have seen in which I can identify with one of the lead characters (Seth) although I have never met a girl in a laundry mat.

It's absolutely beautiful. I caught this movie at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and it is just as touching as it is sweet! One of the very few worth-while movies I have seen in a long time.
212 is directed by a very talented Anthony Ng who not only has an admirable attentiveness to detail but also a unique understanding of human behavior. It is practically impossible not to relate to a character and/or a situation reflected in this film.
If anything, I just wish the Vincent & Lana story line (though heart wrenching and captivating) was a little more developed, it was at those times the movie felt a little slow. But the Seth/Viv story is adorable and hilarious, and the Antonio/Ama story is charming and sweet.
All in all, I need to own this film.

Some times you wish a film would never end, sometimes a film hits that certain nerve inside you and just presents you with all that you want to see, and then some... and as cliché this may sound, i found this in 212. The cleverness of the script, and the well casted actors as well as the beautiful photography made this film something worth looking out for...
six lonely people meet and their lives intertwine at a café in S:t marks... a love story unlike any other...
I caught this film working for the Stockholm international film festival and would probably never have seen it otherwise... one thing's for sure... i want to see it over and over... I must own this film...

I saw this film at the 2005 Woodstock Film Festival and I loved it! It was my impression that everyone in the audience at this screening was highly impressed. I found it fresh and innovative, as well as very sweet. It was consistently engaging, and when it was over, I wanted to see more. It was also genuinely very romantic. The acting was excellent. The actors were attractive in a real way. It was refreshing to see diverse and down-to-earth characters with great depth. It is an unusual film, but one that I think would appeal to a wide audience. I wish there were more movies like this one, and I hope that Anthony Ng will have the opportunity to share more of his talent with us.
