A BEAUTIFUL FILM - Mia Serafino's Best!
7 August 2016
A seriously beautiful film with a such a poignant cast telling a poignant story during a poignant time in modern history.

I have been waiting and certainly hope for Jana Kramer and Sam Logan Khaleghi to team up on camera again. This is Jana's best performance and it is because Logan-Khaleghi uplifts her and challenges her in her scenes to become and be the best actress that is within her. Her character in "Approaching Midnight" was much better than her characterization in "Heart of the Country". Aside from that, I want to point out the brilliant cinematography of Carl Ballou known for his work on the upcoming Sam Raimi film "Don't Breathe" starring Stephen Lang (of AVATAR fame). This is also Mia Serafino's best performance to date. I like her on the NBC show "Crowded" but here she really gets to shine with a real character in a real drama. Her scenes with Sam Logan Khaleghi remind me of some classic monologues and dialogues between two characters in independent film that make indie film great. The fun thing about this particular film is that in many ways it doesn't seem like an independent film, but rather a smart and suspenseful drama.
