The Way You Look Tonight

This film has a bit of a slow-burn start - there's a meet-cute at the top and everything is going well for our lead, but then the girl he was connecting so well with disappears the next day. What follows is a bit unconventional - there's a bit of a mystery element as Peter goes on a new dating site and keeps finding women who are acting strangely towards him and wearing very similar clothing - and there's hinting of a connection to that first girl, but the "twist" comes in about a third into the movie. It's hard to talk about what makes this movie cool without ruining the surprise - but I think the slow burn mystery, while a little cumbersome at times, is worth sticking out. I'll just say there is a bit of a fantasy component that comes in, which is used in some interesting ways to talk about issues of identity and gender and a lot of other things. Overall, I think this is a smartly executed film that demands more from you that the typical rom com.

This is a small independent movie, I don't recall ever having seen any of them in prior roles. Yet I was impressed at how uniformly good and authentic the acting is. In fact having "unknown" actors probably helps its impact.

I'll not give away the plot, which is something I've never encountered before, but the cast list and characters gives a hint, there are Heloise #1 through Heloise #17. If you find a person who "clicks" with you, how much does their "looks" matter in all the days afterwards?

Interesting and entertaining, my wife and I watched it on Amazon streaming movies.

Glad I knew so little going in (be careful reading the other reviews here!): each revelation as the clever narrative unfolded surprised and delighted me.

I wasn't expecting to be moved and challenged by what appears at first to be a standard meet-cute rom com. Nick Fink does a great job in the leading man role: he's lovable, confused, and also not perfect, which really drew me in.

John Cerrito wrote, directed, co-edited, and co-produced this: rather than leading to a vacuous vanity project (as that often does), this is a terrifically successful embodiment of what's clearly his singular vision.

This film has really stuck with me!

I caught this at a film festival and am so excited that it's finally available to the general public. In addition to a well thought-out story, its an impressive acting feat from the members of the cast who were able to so convincingly play the same character. The leading actor did a fantastic job of maintaining chemistry with the rest of the cast. It was at times funny, heartbreaking, and moving. Highly recommend.

This film is on the verge of being fantastic, but it never quite gets there.

It's not because of the cast, Why Nick Finck isn't a huge star is beyond me, he is amazing on camera and just feels like a natural. Overall, every cast member is stellar.

The film takes a little too long to get going, the first 30 minutes seem to drag. Then the story is revealed and the film gets interesting. The slow start is made even weirder by the ending, which seems quite abrupt and provides little closure to the story arc. With a bit more budget and some better writing, this would have been a 10/10 film. As it is, it is still very much with a watch.
