Why so much hype?

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It was an interesting movie. It touched on several subjects that are important in our society. Racism, Feelings of Loneliness, Religious Bible Thumping, etc.The movie was well done but had the feel of a low budget B grade love story. The actors did a mediocre job in the first half of the movie, but got better in the second half. I would have enjoyed it if it wasn't for the horribly tragic ending. Not that it hasn't been done before, but you see it coming a mile away. It would have been interesting if the director gave us a more uplifting end to this tale, instead, it's tragic and feels unresolved (and at points defying of logic and common sense). It could have been worth a nice 7 for what it is, but as it stands, it only gets a 4

I recently saw this late at night with my wife. We were both shocked we had never heard of it. It is truly a brilliant piece of film-making. Though simply shot, the film is put together, by editor Troy Niemans in a way that moves the beautiful story at a perfect pace and allows the characters and story to shine. This is a great date flick, well directed, that relies on characters and story... I miss this kind of film in our cinemas today. Diego Lunes

Upon seeing this movie on television, I had not heard of it before. Now, I cannot believe that it was not more widely promoted and shared, as it is so beautiful and touching. Every aspect of the movie was so romantic and dreamy, yet being so raw and honest at the same time. I very much admire the two starring actors, who portrayed the complex and emotional characters so well, making it look so easy. I hope to see more of Douglas Spain sometime soon in movies, hopefully reaching Australian shores. To the film crew, very well done, and to potential viewers, a must see.

Great, touching story with solid acting. I think that both of the lead actors have bright futures ahead of them. The story is well-written-- a tragic story with a soft touch (and plenty of humor). The scenery and cinematography are great. The direction is first rate. An enjoyable evening at the movies...
