Eerie and gripping thriller. Nice indie vibe for a psychological horror with some common tropes and unexpected surprises.

Brave indie film gives honest look at a Hollywood tragedy. Surprising how a low budget indie movie was able to pull off a period piece. I'm sure it was challenging to get all the props, wardrobe, cars and such to take you back in time. Nice to see it gives the good with the bad where many gloss over the negative and try to make every sunshine and lollipops. Kudos to the hard work. Definitely and enjoyable watch.

Inspiring and motivating movie.
12 April 2018
Inspiring and motivating movie. What a beautiful documentary-style movie. So many good life lesson tid bits. Very uplifting. Food for the soul. Canfield is so soothing when he speaks. I enjoyed the metaphysics mixed in with truisms. Everyone can get something out of this to improve their lives, whether it's new ideas or reminders.

Clever, dark comedy and surprising satire. Interesting to have the lead be such an ignoble character. You really want him to get his comeuppance. I enjoy a bit of over the top acting. Love the political innuendoes and the indie vibe. It gives the audience what it wants.

Nice dark comedy in a vintage setting.
11 April 2018
Nice dark comedy in a vintage setting. An enjoyable plot with quirky characters, delightful performances, funny dialogue, fitting music, interesting cinematography and use of black and white footage. I especially love when a comedy doesn't take itself too seriously and the creators are able to convey that along the way.

Unique voice given to the classic follow your dreams story. The movie has an indie vibe, but is otherwise well done with an intriguing plot, unexpected surprises, a little dark mixed in, sprinkled with humor, culminating into an enjoyable experience.

The Green Room (2016– )
9/10
Hilarious comedy in such a choice setting.
10 April 2018
Hilarious comedy in such a choice setting. So timely in this era where dispensaries are cropping up and legalized marijuana is spreading across the nation. Perfect if you like good burst out loud laughing entertainment. Well written, the story builds and the cast gels as the episodes unfold. Definitely off to a good start. Clearly a Season 2 in the making. I can imagine many more.

Delightful on so many levels.
9 April 2018
Delightful on so many levels. Such a creative indie movie from the beautiful cinematography, the unique use of music to convey emotions of the characters (main character is a composer, after all), women empowerment and an inspirational story about rising above your challenges and pursue your goals.

Enjoyable romantic comedy-drama
9 April 2018
Really enjoyable romantic comedy-drama. With an indie vibe, this film showed some realistic struggles that many can probably relate to, and reactions/interactions that legitimate behavior, even if it's not our best behavior, when dealing with major issues and adding emotions on top of that. While the characters faced serious situations, the mix of humor and dash of faith made this a fun ride.

Poetic and poignant drama about corporate life
9 April 2018
Interesting and intense story with such a strong lead. It shines an honest light on the glass ceiling phenomena with a poetic and poignant resolution after some clever twists and turns with all the drama culminating and converging at the end.

Hidden Light (2018)
8/10
Compelling crisis of faith story with satsifying resolution
9 April 2018
An intense and suspenseful drama with not one but three characters each having a crisis of faith and put on a path toward redemption, which is a complex story for a low budget film. It deals with spiritual content respectfully without feeling preachy and tugs on the heart strings.

Clever indie Western thriller
9 April 2018
I think this is my first Western thriller. It has a little old West with a contemporary feel, a little dark atmosphere and an indie vibe. You have to pay attention as the story builds, but you get a good payoff at the end.

Interesting documentary style movie. Unexpected humor and beautiful cinematography. So many tid bits about cowboy culture I've never heard before. It will give you greater appreciation for Westerns and country songs. Quite enjoyable.
