Getting to Know You

The acting by the leads was exceptional, particularly Natasha Little. The first three supporting actor over the top performances were for me unconvincing and cringeworthy.

I am glad I kept watching; almost stopped at initial supporting actor performances. I haven't been to a stage play in decades, but this seems very like one.

Deep love for someone with whom a life is impossible is a heartbreak I hope few experience.

Natasha Little, Rupert Penny-Jones, and Rachel Blanchard star in this well made film. The trick that works is the visible chemistry between Little and Penny-Jones. That tension never realized builds like a forest fire that consumes everything. Their attraction is so explosive that the screen is filled with that unrealized love. This is the first time I have seen something so tangible that is unrequited. There is a lesson in the power of not acting out a momentous emotion until the final moment is consumed by the longest most gentle, lingering kiss. This is a perfect love story where no intercourse interferes.

Not 100% solid all the way through. Some of the plot contrivances are forced, but nonetheless, surprisingly touching here and there - and the unpredictable plot keeps us guessing and involved to the end. NIce to see a movie without villains or violence.

Not the cinematic or crazy deep type of movies, just a very sweet movie with some humour. Perfect for holidays or when you want something bright and easy. I liked it.

I saw this movie on Amazon Prime and decided to give it a try. I was ambivalent about my expectations. It could have been just some silly slapstick, or an over the top attempt at humor, or overly sappy. It avoids all of that. While the story line might be slightly implausible, in the long run, the characters act appropriately. I wanted the story in end differently, but the ending I wanted would have been too cliche, so kudos to the director and writers for avoiding it.

I don't believe I had seen any of the actors before, so I had no expectations. The cast did not disappoint.

Overall, it's a really good movie.
