| User ReviewMark FHal Hartley, the mans a genius!!! Martin Donavon the man is infinatley watchable!!!! I just love this film!! |
| User ReviewBenjamin JBeautifully written. Certainly the best of the films on the "three shorts" collection. |
| User ReviewRichard HI love the elegance of the performances and the dialogue. I wish I could write a tenth as well as this. |
| User ReviewAaron HOne of my favourite movies. Greatest Dance scene ever. Short and sweet and funny, Hal Hartley at his best, really. |
| User ReviewJimmy Gun peu l'histoire de ma vie ! excellent ! |
| User ReviewLaura ROne hour long, totally brilliant, if you can find a copy of it rent it right now. I have watched some terrible Hartley films because of this one. |
| User ReviewPrivate Ucomo diria hugo "neotrance total" pero en serio es demasiado bella e infatuating |
| User ReviewFaidra Ptruly indie filmmaking at it's best. surreal, but not pretentious. smart, but also funny. if you want to watch a movie, and then talk about it all night with intelligent people, rent this, smoke a joint, bust open some wine, and see what you get out of it... or watch jerry maguire if you're a friggin' jerkoff. |
| User ReviewLawrence MAnother excellent early Hal Hartley film. Not as fully realised as The Unbelievable Truth or Trust, but still enjoyable, and with plenty of Hartley's trademark staccato dialogue. |
| User ReviewEric SA short film about passion and love, original and poetic |
