Joyful Jadyn T @joyfuljj Jul 20 A bit simple, but has good messages and it is overall pretty enjoyable. I wasn’t expected nearly as much as I received. See more Alec B @Alec97 01/09/2024 Even with the minimal plot elements, it still feels like there are too many revelations and resolutions when the film's best elements are the more ambiguous character moments, where past transgressions and secrets are merely hinted at. See more 01/28/2022 Drawn with sweetness and intelligence, Stephen Cone shows his sensibility by tipping the scales towards his characters, young and confused, undergoing changes while the world around them continues to spin in unpredictable and fascinating ways that perhaps leave the door open for them to discover them and themselves. See more Dave C @RT09838700 06/24/2021 Brilliantly portrayed family and friendship circle, with each member being tangled up in their own repressed guilt and angst, whether about addiction, sexuality, assault, etc. The slow burn of the setting is perfect for us to be shown each character's particular drama as the Birthday party unfolds. The framework of faith in God works extremely well for the story, adding a dimension to the tension that would otherwise be lacking See more 09/03/2020 Even with the minimal plot elements, it still feels like there are too many revelations and resolutions when the film's best elements are the more ambiguous character moments, where past transgressions and secrets are merely hinted at. See more Aaron L @RT55567649 07/07/2020 The movie was good but seemed to leave huge gaps in a possible storyline. The story seems too fast-paced. The movie can keep your attention, but it mostly has an easily forgettable storyline. It is also difficult to keep track of all the names of the characters during the film, so when they are referring to another character that is not on-screen, it feels difficult to know who they are talking about. What was enjoyable about the movie was its ability to feel like a small snapshot in time, and feels like you are watching a small segment of someone's life. Another problem that I have with this movie was that it didn't seem to do much in the movie that would have made the ending make sense. I think the ending was a good one, but it doesn't feel like what would have happened based on all of the movies that came before it. It didn't seem to focus very much on the main character's struggles at all. I don't believe that I would recommend this movie to anyone. See more Read all reviews
