I was fortunate enough to catch a recent festival screening in New York City of this little puppy, and here's what I took away.

1. The story. It's simple, real and well timed. It's carried by the acting and backed up by...

2. Beautiful crisp cinematography and overall design. Great musical score!

3. Time. It was the shortest peice of the night but hit the biggest chord because of its simplicity and episodic feel. Needs to be tv show

Films like these make the argument that you don't need to spend 2mil on movies. Find a good story, great actors and a small, strong team who genuinely like to make art.

I look forward to more material from the team! Well done!

As we get older and love doesn't seem to be enough and life is actually - quite simply inbalanced and almost artificial - watching Woody Allen movies brings life to the relatable and makes you laugh at the ridiculous of human behavior. Especially the fantasies of grandeur, - the intimacy between professor and the student or plumber and plumbers assistant, what have you, Rifkins Festival still plays at the comedy of the desperation and the fear to become stagnant.

Well shot. Good speed. Bold choice in actor, but the chemistry between authenticity and subtly feels balanced throughout.

Don't watch it expecting an Oscar. Watch it to enjoy cinema again. The movie also tells you that.

The show is Luke-warm. It flows into the assembly line of fantasy Netflix is pooping out. I'm not sure what goes on with this production, but it seems as if - yet again - the person who needed to "sign off" on each episode made bad calls and therefore, jeopardizes the entire flow.

There are NO risks being taken. ACTORS CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITH WEAK SCRIPTS.

The animated segues are too much. I keep thinking its a title card, but it isn't necessary.

May not be worth a Season 2 green-light.
