Second Samuel invites us to consider what community really means and how our own traditions and personal biases can erode its true definition. Carried out on a familiar southern backdrop in days gone by, it's amazing to see the parallels to life as we know it today. The film illustrates how our differences can unite and divide us at the same time, which is a sentiment that speaks ever so loudly in light of recent events.

The main character of the film is an unlikely hero whose unapologetic love for his fellow man proves to be a refreshing change to the traditional superhero figures of today's films. Raw, youthful, and untainted kindness and respect shine through as superpowers and I was certainly along for the hero's journey.

Everything about this film from what was caught on screen to the passion, faith, and hope of its filmmakers makes this film a must-see. If you're looking for a film with a heart of gold, look no further. Second Samuel truly shines.

My first thought after seeing this film was that it's just the type of movie we need right now. Its ensemble cast brought a little something for everyone and took us on a journey of love and introspection. Though the premise is built on magic and science fiction, it is strongly based in reality with its true-to-life characters and real human emotions. It wasn't too much nor too little of anything and that's what made it so satisfying.

Unlike so many films that oversaturate the screen with all-too-familiar tropes, Another Version of You takes those tropes and uses them to make the audience think just as much about themselves as they do about the characters on screen. They don't just hand the audience a sugar-dipped love story; instead, they offer a journey of self-discovery.

As a true romantic comedy, Another Version of You is the perfect stay-at-home date movie. As I mentioned before, it has something for everyone so couples can kick back and enjoy this one together. If you're looking for a break from the glut of horrors, dramas, and over-the-top comedies streaming to your tv, this is the perfect movie to bring you back to Earth (in multiple universes).

My hat goes off to the writer/director as well as to the cinematographer for this beautifully-shot film. It's not every day that you see an indie film look (and sound) this good. I will definitely recommend it to both friends and family as it hits the mark on so many levels. Well done!

If you're looking for a thriller that will keep you guessing while providing a dark twist on childhood nightmares, this is your film. This isn't about blood and gore, so don't hold your breath waiting for this to be the next great slasher film. This one is about terror and a personal fear of the demons of the past.

This is a great indie film that is definitely worth the cost of admission.
