A couple who are experiencing a period where everything is going wrong, decide to try and save their relationship by heading off on a vacation.
This is a very good and very heartfelt film. The cast is solid. The direction is quite good. I like that the film does not look or feel like other similar inde films.
If I have any quibbles with the film is that I’m not certain that the film always nails the tone of proceedings right. I am not saying this because I dislike the film, rather it comes from a genuine appreciation for what the film is doing. What I mean by this is that this is one of the few inde films that deal with some tough adult subjects, say the trouble conceiving, and it does so in an adult and non- overly dramatic way. There is a level of emotion and discussion that we don’t normally see in films. At the same time the film can of have a lighthearted edge in places that kind of goes against the serious discussions. And it’s not the humor its more the type of humor.
Of course, that’s just me trying to make a film I like better.
This is a small gem and worth a look
