Storyline
Featured review
A deceivingly simple, almost claustrophobic, touching 2-hander with the ghost of a third loved one lurking deep within
Love has many shapes and forms and each of us deals with love and the loss of love in their own way. Sometimes it helps to be alone and sometimes it helps to feel the love of another during the loss of someone so dear. Writer/director, Parker Foster, introduces the character of Kyler (beautifully played by David Feliciano) with a tight close-up of Kyler opening up his heart and soul to what one might imagine is some kind of self-help group. In the background, out of focus (both literally and figuratively), is a blond woman ostensibly hanging on to each of his words as they struggle to leave his lips. We soon learn that this young woman is Kyler's girlfriend Sophia (deeply and compassionately played by Gianna Reisen). And there is a third character in the film, another woman, whose loss permeates the film and threatens to end the couple's relationship. The title itself is misleading because it sounds like it might just be another generic romantic comedy, but the love and loss in this film is initially not at all of the romantic kind and then later transcends romance to become something altogether deeper. The director and two actors are apparently only at the beginning of their careers, but if this film is any indication, there's much more transformative art and expression to be expected in the future.
