This show is not just something you experience with your eyes and ears, though both the visual effects and the music are absolutely amazing - it's something you feel inside of you, deep down in your stomach. You can feel the connection between the characters, and the sound track is so spot on, brought tears to my eyes. I love that I "felt" this show so deeply, it moved me. The episodes flew by and I absolutely cannot WAIT for Season Two. I am incredibly picky about TV and movies, and I often get bored of shows that don't have the right pacing, character development, action, emotion, and of course - dialogue. With this show, every episode just got better. I freely admit it was a bit confusing to start - but I see now the show was putting us in the position of the characters (all of whom I absolutely adore!). We learn as they do, we experience as they do. To be so moved by something, I just can't wait to watch it again to be honest. And kudos to casting - I absolutely loved every single sensate, and hadn't seen any of them before, yet was able to identify with each one. Love the breath of fresh air, the originality, and the cinematography just made you feel like you were there in all these amazing places. I could go on but just WATCH IT. I don't like "sci-fi" typically, but this is just - raw emotion and sensation, I wouldn't call it sci-fi personally. I am in love with this show. Easily my new favorite. The music, just, wow. Great job all around!

I was able to view to this movie via PPV before it hits theaters. I had no prior knowledge of the movie, and honestly pretty low expectations based on the description given, but I thought wth, I'll give it a try. I am SO glad I did. This movie was an unexpected beauty. I loved seeing both Kristen Wiig and Guy Pearce in very different roles than they typically play. This film is understated, it's slow going yet the pace feels perfect. There may not be any HUGE moments, but there are a couple "really good" ones. This film starts out with an almost sad feeling, but totally goes in an unexpected direction, and is so much more than it's description. It offers amazing yet gentle insight into various relationships, real-life scenarios, and excellent acting. I loved Nick Nolte in this. All around, this film left a good feeling inside my heart. It's about embracing imperfection, loving people for who they are, yet showing them how much more than can be if someone believes in them. At least, that's what I took away from it. So much more than I expected, love it! I am quite picky about movies, especially slower-moving independent films..but this- I loved. Well worth the money and time. 9/10
