Loved it, and loved the atmosphere of the unique little town. I was completely sucked into the story and, most importantly, the relationship that developed between the two main characters. I knew things weren't going to go smoothly, but all the same, was totally seduced into this sexy, thriller-esque romance. This was a world that I 100% enjoyed being in for 90 minutes.

The previous reviewer obviously has some serious issues. For one, they clearly don't know how much of an effort goes into making a feature film. Many people talk the talk, but can't walk the walk. Steady Betty is clearly one of those people who loves to hate on something or someone, cause they have nothing better to do. Also, how does Steady Betty know the filmmaker/filmmakers had some money to make a film? That they weren't given the money by producers who believed in their talent? Sounds like Steady Betty is claiming to know a lot about the filmmaker, when she doesn't? Hmmm. I guess proof is in the pudding Steady Betty, with the number of awards the film is getting. Or wait, are you going to suggest the filmmaker/filmmakers paid for those awards? Haha! Anyway, I thought the film was AMAZING and has a powerful message! You really need to need to see this film! I watched it via the Boston Independent Film Festival and the audience gave it such a positive reaction, that it went on to win Best Narrative Feature. Ignore haters like Steady Betty because that's all they can do is hate. Stick to the the facts, which is the number of awards this film is receiving. Let's see Steady Bitter Betty try to go out and raise money to make a film and then actually make one. Haha!

Brilliant acting! Also really enjoyed the cinematography of this film. It's a story we all can identify with which makes it that much more powerful. It explores the lengths at which we humans go to to feel safe or happy or redeemed. The ending is the best part!I especially enjoyed the bartender's character and the quirky flower business owner. The opening establishing shots were my favorite and I love the town they chose to set the film in. In reference to what the previous reviewer said, I disagree that this film portrays women badly. I think it shows that we are all human and have faults - as men and women. The overlying theme of "To Kill a Mockingbird" fit very well and added a nice layer of complexity to the film. With the recent loss of Harper Lee, this film is all the more relevant today and we're lucky to have it.
