Full Plot Details

In Toronto, Nickie and Emily have an immediate mutual attraction to each other the first time they speak to the other, although they have seen each other before in their general travels. In the course of their dating and becoming exclusive with each other, they fall in love. It isn't until this exclusivity that each learns the other is a damaged soul. Nickie, raised in England, moved to Toronto following the disappearance of his younger brother, and has worked one service job after another, landing on being a cabbie, in generally behaving like a zombie in his day-to-day life in his inability to cope. He also has a cool relationship with his parents, Katherine and William, because of the situation. His seeming only outlet to express his grief is the occasion fit of temper accompanied by some form of violence, even though he inherently is not a violent person. Emily, an aspiring artist, suffers from bipolar disorder, medication, which she often does not take, and adhering to a "system" which can control her swings. Her well-off father and stepmother, Jacob and Marie, still try to control her life in what they consider knowing what is best to help her. These circumstances affect Nickie and Emily's relationship as well whether there is a long term future for the two of them together.

Movie Reviews

Georgia Straight - 9/10 by Adrian Mack[Maslany] is entirely your best reason to catch this homegrown effort.
The Gate - 8/10 by Andrew ParkerIt's a moving look at trying to stay human and grounded while dealing with internal and external forces beyond one's control.
NOW Toronto - 8/10 by Norman WilnerIt's an impressionistic, experiential drama, situating us with its characters in bars and clubs and rooms and beds and letting us see how they are together as they find comfort and strength in each other's broken places.
Toronto Star - 8/10 by Bruce DeMaraKlein creates a mood of tension, foreboding and sombre reflection through occasional moments of slo-mo and camera work that blurs reality. His literate script offers no easy resolution, only the faint hope that love can rescue two lost souls.
What She Said - 8/10 by Anne BrodieThe centre of the film is hope. It is intimate and kind and the sex scenes are underscored not with passion but tenderness. Pretty darn good for a first feature.
New York Times - 7/10 by Andy WebsterMr. Klein is well served by his actors, who exude conviction, charisma and palpable ardor.
National Post - 6/10 by Calum MarshMaslany and Cullen have been praised extensively (and justly) for their work here in festival reviews and across the trades; no less excellent, if perhaps less conspicuous, are the performances of the film's supporting players.
RogerEbert.com - 5/10 by Susan WloszczynaA somber and derivative relationship drama.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Simon AbramsMaslany and Cullen's characters seem intended to be psychologically realistic, but they're only as complex as The Other Half's surface-deep style.
User Review - 10/10 by Manuel NCan't wait to watch this using boxxy software app in my audio language
