•”I was stunned by the combination of Doscher’s technical prowess (the black-and-white film is flawlessly shot end edited)and the fact that he and screenwriter Michael Darin Cohen were willing to deal with sex so directly and had found two excellent actors (Sarah Jaye and Andrew Ramaglia) who were willing to bare their bodies as well as their emotions.” Joe Meyers, CT Post

…with an unadorned and a stark style this film captures rich and complex emotions of one event and the people around it. The film’s style marries an economy of light and emotion with few words. Would that the ballet of emotion, motion, and music at the end would continue, but it is not necessary as the story is succinct and its telling brave…
In its raw emotional honesty, I’m reminded of the work of John Cassevetes. Beautiful lighting and photography, too. Great work!
Love the choice of black and white for such an exposed piece of art. The emotions are laid out on the table and captured brilliantly with clarity and intimacy. I feel like I’m living each moment and that’s what makes it so engaging. A perfect combination of top rate artists make for a pleasing experience. Thanks for sharing!
What a truly fabulous collection of ideas.
beautifull to see that sometimes you have to be self destructive to feel pain because you want to know what you have got in life.
Fantastic piece of film making – acting, writing, directing, camera, music, sound, name it. Congrats to everyone involved!
what a wonderful film
