Clever indie thriller that's a pleasure to watch play out
thesnarkascending15 October 2023
Amanda Jane Stern's feature "Perfectly Good Moment" is a smartly written, clever thriller with a twist you really don't see coming.

Stephen Carlile and Amanda Stern are completely believable in their roles as David and Ruby, and the two play off of each other well. The pacing is excellent and the film trim, keeping viewers engaged throughout, and the story's payoff is excellent. "Perfectly Good Moment" is an excellent, tightly paced indie and well worth a watch.

Worth mentioning that the film deals with domestic abuse, but in an entirely cathartic and ultimately satisfying way.

Bravo to the team behind it.

Great addition to the revenge thriller genre
adinaraeshapiro16 October 2023
A tight, well-paced script with a twist I truly couldn't predict. For such a small filmmaking team with presumably little resources, they really accomplished a lot with a little. As a psychosexual thriller, you can really see the thought and care they put into every action and shot, really doing their part to demonstrate the need for intimacy coordinators on set for any film with intimate scenes, since they utilized one so effectively per the credits. Add to that a very effective (but not too intrusive) score and some spooky performances from the actors and you have a great addition to the revenge thriller genre.
