    What on God's green earth did I just watch?

    This was beyond a student film. The acting was wooden, the writing was ridiculous , the color grading a joke. It was like they ran the film through 14 instagram filters. And the overuse of flares.

    The leads were uncharismatic and there was way too much talking.

    SKIP!!!!

    Good story spine

    An excellent story marked by true brilliant writing and intriguing thoughtful plot with even more intricate and interesting characters who everyone can find some relatable points in such as there struggles and vulnerability beautifully put together by a very intelligent writer and director who is a very talented man named Pasha Girard.

    A Tragic Love Story

    Finally got around to watching this indie gem. What a great love story painted on such an artistic canvas. The super-saturated neon drenched backdrop lends to the drug induced hyper fantasied love story. If you're expecting a big budget thriller, you should probably skip this one, but if you enjoy small cult/indie films, give this one a go. I really enjoyed it.

    A fun and sad adventure

    This is not a movie for everyone, but it has the makings of a cult classic. The contradiction of colourful scenes and characters against the sadness of the story is a great touch. If you like odd indie dramas with comedic undertones, check this out.

    I cried

    I've been waiting for this to come out for a while! Happy I'm finally able to watch it. Originally called Carpe Noctem, so I was confused at first, but I guess movies change names sometimes. What a bitter sweet story told in a way that no one other than Gene could tell it. Great work!
