Life in Color

I wasn't expecting much from this movie suggested by Prime. It started with a depressing look into Mary's life as a nanny. Not exactly a romantic comedy but comedic and romantic elements.

Loved this film. Had some great real-life material about depression, and struggle after trauma, families, friends, etc. The acting, and story, and cinematography was so beautiful and seamless I was completely engulfed in the film. Excellent characters, beautiful locations. Felt like a romantic comedy that could actually happen. Maybe it did happen?? Thank you for making this beautiful film!

Josh McDermitt and Katharine Emmer star in this emotionally complex drama. It is the depth of the dialogue that raises this film to more than a simple romantic relationship. It could be a play. It works well because Emmer and McDermitt like each other and their interest in the other ignites the viewer's interest. I cared about these two people and that is the mark of a great film.

I don't recall when I first watched this, but I just rewatched it because I remembered liking it. On this second viewing I noticed that Katherine Emmer wrote, directed, and starred in this film. That's a pretty big deal. But what I also noticed is that it was dedicated to her grandmother and it made me wonder how much of herself is in the character she played.

Let's have more movies like this. How do we make this happen? I'd watch 20 of these before I watch another superhero reboot.

Is it maybe a little cliche, two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl? Sure, but things are cliche because they are true. It's still a unique story that deserves to be viewed by more.

This movie seemed like a little indie treasure, but halfway through I was about to skip over another eating scene, because I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE CHEWING LIKE I'M INSIDE THEIR MOUTH, and I realized I'm missing some crucial plot points in these scenes. I get it, he medicates with food, I never want to hear anyone chew like that, I've broken relationships on these grounds. I'll find out how the movie ends somewhere, I'll look out for these actors other roles.
