"Surviving New Year's" was an unexpected surprise: extremely realistic, wonderfully acted, and very well-directed - watching this little gem of a film is like being an fly on the wall at a fun-then-awkward new year's eve party... emotional and memorable. Hand-held documentary camera work adds to the realism, as well as the improvised style of dialogue. Although the film is brief (which makes it a perfect choice when short on time), it never feels rushed or abbreviated in any way. The director allowed his actors to take their time, while developing thoroughly rich relationships between the characters. Want to see more from these actors and director!
