Until We Meet Again (2022)

This Movie Needs More Scenes With Leslie Jordan & Antonio Fargas

[6/10 · 15 February 2022]

Until We Meet Again is written, directed and produced by Pece Dingo. I assume that Pece Dingo intended to create a classic romantic ghost saga in the vain of The Ghost & Mrs. Muir (1947), Ghost (1990), and countless others of this genre. Since Mr. Dingo was the film's writer, director and producer, I assumed that I would be watching a trainwreck of a vanity project. I have to admit I was wrong, it's not a disaster. The film's production values are first-rate. It looks like a product that was intended for theatrical release. The leads are competent in their roles, despite being hindered by a script that gives them with little to nothing to work with. This film's most memorable characters are played by the delightful duo of Leslie Jordan and Antonio Fargas. Those of you who are around my age will recognize Antonio Fargas as Huggy Bear, the most memorable character from the otherwise forgettable TV series Starsky & Hutch (1975-1979). This film would have benefitted greatly from having more scenes with Mr. Jordan and Mr. Fargas. As it stands, overall this film is bland to boring. In the third-act, out of the blue, an unexpected element of suspense occurs. In a well-written script such occurrences are foreshadowed, but that doesn't occur in this film. The evidence suggests that Pece Dingo is better at directing and producing than he is at writing. I'm generously giving this movie a 6 out of 10 rating primarily due to the entertaining efforts of Leslie Jordan and Antonio Fargas. These two gentlemen deserve to be cast in more roles.
