    Delivered simply but resonates profoundly.

    It's like a 'Red Hot Chili Peppers' song come true. The characters are relatable, and it moves at a delightful pace. You find yourself rooting for the characters, and not necessarily for a Hollywood ending. The isolation and loneliness of ALL the characters is captured so beautifully that when Daisy and Cooper finally start their awkward relationship you feel a sense of relief. I was also angry when Cooper risked their unconventional and fragile relationship with his selfishness. I think what makes this film extra beautiful is the display of courage and open-mindedness' the main characters must display to overcome their loneliness. In a pre-COVID world with sowed division and overtly negative social media, this movie reinforces the need for connections beyond the typical constructs.

    This decade's Lost In Translation

    If you didn't like Lost In Translation then I'd probably give this a wide berth,

    But if you did then this is real joy.

    A slow, subtle, but always engaging gem of a film. The two leads were equally outstanding.

    Loved it. You probably will too... so long as you were blown away by Lost in Translation.

    Fallen Stars is a smaller film with actors unknown to me. Ryan O'Nan and Michelle Ang take a bow. Also, director Brian Jett.

    Fallen Stars should make them all rising stars.

    not bad

    This one is a slow movie, really slow. The lead pair has no chemistry although they do have some cute moments.Most of their interactions are painful to watch, I understand the girl's character has been written that way, aloof and quiet but it is annoying, it's no fun to watch. Clearly, this movie was not made for entertainment, it gets boring a lot of places.

    A real diversion

    This is not the usual kind of film for me to watch, but after reading another review, it sounded like a good film, and it is. As described, the film is about a bar tender who meets people at his job and becomes numb to the regulars to the point he is starting to question the challenges of his life. A new face shows up at his bar and over a period of time he tries to force some kind of interaction with the new face...a girl, (who is obviously not interested.) The two eventually go for a walk and without intent, start to learn perceived "personal problems" of each other.

    The story is fantastic and the makers of the film worked oh so hard to craft this tale into something the viewer will remember for a long time.

    I would recommend this to anybody who has ever tried to gain a friend when they have been lonely in a crowded room.
