Reviews

anchor-9 Face it. Not everything is pretty pictures. This is a difficult story - but one that deserves watching. The feel is gritty. The story is told in it's own time. You won't find a Hollywood tale here. The portrayal of life outside of the frames of the pretty happy, works of Emily is engrossing. Don't look for something simple here.

SnoopyStyle Nickie Bellow (Tom Cullen) is a volatile drunk. He works as a cab driver and waiter in Toronto. Five years earlier, he suffered a devastating loss back home in the UK. He gets into a confrontation with a customer and saved by Emily (Tatiana Maslany). She seems to be a happy soul and they start a loving relationship. Her mental illness surfaces and they struggle to deal with their troubles.I only watched this for Tatiana. There isn't much here other than good work from the two leads. It's nowhere near enough. The drama isn't there. The filming is indie with some experimental lite. It's not compelling enough other than the skilled cast. They try their best but the material is thin.

Lisa Couldn't shake the feeling of having felt like I'd wasted an hour and 45 minutes of my life. The only thing I could give it was that I did want to see what happens at the end but I don't think that was necessarily the film more that I don't like not seeing things through. I found the film weak with poor execution of building suspense. Could have been great with the topic and storyline but just found it flat and boring.

Mike Allen Do you know what? I think this had the makings of a really good film according to the synopsis on this site...Actors seem good. Good camera work, nicely lit, suitably moody soundtrack...But...Try and hear a damn word that anybody in this film has to say... Go ahead... try it...I even tried lip reading...Of late, this is not an uncommon thing in films out of both North America and Canada... Mumble, mumble, mumble...What is it? Are your scripts such rubbish that you're ashamed to let the audience hear the dialogue?How about you do everybody a favour... If the reality is that you actually have nothing to say that you want anybody to hear then for god sake don't waste peoples time with any film.I for one have better things to do with my life.VERY ANNOYED.
