    Intense and cleverly written

    Was an incredible, compelling portrayal of the deceit, dishonesty, deception and secrets withheld in a relationship. I felt like a "fly on the wall" watching an intimate dinner between 2 couples and seeing how they communicate and share with each other. The writer nailed the uncomfortable feeling you get when you're not being honest with yourself and your best friends and partners. It's a fascinating display of how difficult relationships are, but more importantly how people can be without expressing their true essence and how they truly feel. There was humor interspersed during the drama that offered relief, and yet how humor can hide our true selves.

    Sadness of life

    This is a well-written glimpse into the life of two couples, which is sadly believable. This film is both simple in its use of four actors and one location, yet complex in how their relationships are revealed and the action unfolds!

    Made for a pleasant evening of entertainment.

    Very interesting and engaging. This movie leaves you thinking about the characters.

    Intense

    Excellent acting, particularly the two women. Would make a great play in a small theater.

    A slice of life

    With real dialogue and great performances, these four actors bring to life a captivating, thought-provoking, and often uncomfortable dinner. This film is definitely worth watching and then pondering the life choices and decisions made by each character!
