Wow, what a great film.
I only caught it because I think Caitlin Stasey is brilliant. The dialogue in the beginning was so stylized, that I almost turned it off. Thank goodness I stuck with it!
First off, it was cast perfectly. Fran Kranz is born to play the role, and shines the whole time. Dichen Lachman is brilliantly confident, yet guarded throughout. Literally all of the cast supports each other wonderfully.
Writer/Director Anton King does a masterful job of taking us through a romantic comedy that never is cheap (I rarely laugh out loud, even when I find things funny. I laughed out loud during this movie.), and makes the viewer really think. I found myself really enjoying scenes, but also thumbing through my thoughts and memories to see if there was some measure of wisdom I could gain by watching.
This is just a true gem of a film. I often have this itch for films that will make me think about romance and relationships, while indulging in drinks and provocative situations. This touches on all of it and proves to be uniquely satisfying.
This is the product of talented people who care about what they're making. The budget doesn't have to be huge if the filmmakers have love for their work.
Thanks for the journey. This will be added to my list of favorites in this genre.
