World Premiere matinée was good!
30 May 2009 | by piepline – See all my reviews

I had the pleasure of seeing this film at it's world premiere at the Keswick theater in Glenside, PA and it was well worth it. The movie itself was entertaining and captivating. The story line was good and I appreciate that it was different and didn't run as a typical movie might have. Of course that's why I like independent movies. The only sound in this film is a musical score. The rest of the movie is in subtitles for those of us who do not know the sign language that is used by the actors. I'm proud that this movie was filmed so close to home in Pennsylvania. Anthony Natale is a terrific actor. See this film! The only thing I might have liked better was the pacing of the movie. Other than that I enjoyed it.
