'Nicole' is intriguing initially in that we know the title character has been a victim of some kind of trauma, but the film is reaching for a horror-comedy tone that is wholly inconsistent. Too much is revealed up front -- alcoholism, deceased parents -- which could have been folded into the film later, and this is the problem; the front-loaded depression overpowers later attempts at black, screwball humor. If you were lured by the poster, the first quarter of the film is jarring, since you may be expecting subversive, horrifying comedy in the vein of 'American Psycho.'

The film concerns a young professional woman anticipating a hot date arranged online while not noticing other admirers caught in her orbit. That the predatory lothario is the film's first attempts at humor is part of the problem: Nicole's literally black-and-white life can't bloom into technicolor if she is too submerged in a black hole of routine and depression. But that's where the film's uneven tone starts to change, and not convincingly.

The black-and-white to color-film-stock changes signal different realities, but not consistently, though I don't wish to include spoilers here.

Tamika Shannon appears to be an actress to watch. Her monotone acting in the early scenes serves entirely to fulfill the script, which fails her, because her luminous moments late in the film show her true range. I look forward to seeing more from her.

But I also hope she'll find scripts that give us a chance to see her full potential and don't handcuff her into contrived plot moves.

It was a good movie with decent acting by the cast liked the black and white theme,wasn't sure where the comedy was till middle/end of movie....ended kinda weird though.

Starts with a powerful opening image of the lead with blood covering her face. The black and white photography is made all the more striking by the bookended bits of color.

The dialog is sharp and the tension is maintained throughout, with some geniunely funny bits throughout to relieve it. Great bad date gonna very bad vibe.

Ever wonder how terrible movies like this get made? Or how much of a tax break the producers got for this? Or if anyone even read the script before saying, yeah this might be good as toilet paper? Well if you did, this movie is for you. I'm wondering how anyone not attached to it gave it a ten.

Yeah it's pretty bad. and no i don't think it was shot on an iphone; that would be disrespecting the iphone too much.

arthouse implies niche quality and memorable acting - something this film wasn't able to scrounge up

If you're they type of person that can't stop watching a train wreck, this is the movie for you. Acting, horrible. Cast, atrocious. Storyline, WHAT!?!?!! Plot twist, where? This might be the worst movie I've ever seen.

I'm not one to totally dislike a movie. I can usually find something positive,even if it's just the film's location. But when I say bad, I'm not misleading you. The acting. The script. The whole execution of it. Aweful.

Nicole is a witty well made horror movie from start to finish. The cinematography grabs you in the beginning and keeps you entertained with some stellar acting. Well worth the watch.

Nicole is definitely a fun ride, a nice blend of horror and comedy. The lead actress is wonderful and so is the fun dialogue and black and white cinematography and world. I love the Hitchcock homage and then the shift to color when her world gets better. I was thoughtfully entertained by this first date gone wrong, full of yearning, haunting of past trauma. This was a really well-done indie film.

Well im not going to put this movie down by saying because of its low budget its a crap watch, because quite frankly ive seen much higher budget films that are eclipsed by 'Nicole'. And there are very simple reasons for this, such as the earnest characters, clever humour, well lit production and thoughtful narrative. For me relating to the main character Nicole was easy and enjoyable, being a fly on the wall for want of a better term, seeing what no one else is seeing her do, in her struggles to cope with life. Its heartfelt and relevant and an intimate look into her day to day living. The online dating scenario such as in this, we have heard about and/or experienced before and the way its done here is neatly and effectively portrayed. No, its not a flashy, cinematic masterpiece by any stretch, but it is a true to life story that is artfully produced.

I hate when reviews include "The Worst Movie I've Ever Seen" yet I have got to say it fits for me regarding this mess.

Directing was clumsy at best, acting was over the top cringe by scenery chewing wannabe actors, story went nowhere, plotholes? Zero plot.

Ridiculous pointless scenes happened with no statement made.

One huge mistake.

This movie sucks! B rated, terrible acting and dumb!!!!

This is quite possibly THE most HORRIBLE movie I've ever seen in my life. The acting is absolutely atrocious, it almost seems like they paid the actors to do a terrible job, that's how bad it was. I can't even find enough words to describe how miserable I was watching such a horrible display of acting skills (or the lack thereof). Complete waste of 90 minutes of your life that you can never get back

What was the plot? Where was the comedy? This movie could have went very well with more co'writers. It had all it need with the actors they where good. But they didn't have the right script.

The movie made no sense and had so many holes in the plot it was aggravating to watch.

By far one of the worst films I've ever seen. The actors did the best they could with the writing, but I literally can't ever get my time back please don't waste yours

You shouldnt always pass on low budget films, there are sometimes diamonds to be found or you may pass on a decent film. This film was decent. Pretty straight forward but you can appreciate the work that was put into it from the people who did the set to the acting which I found to be very good by the main protagonist Nicole and her date John. I say give it a chance, it's entertaining. I've seen very very horrendous films with a way bigger budget.

From the opening scene of Nicole fake jogging this movie is bad, not in a good way, the lead actress is talented but the writers and director should have kept this in a vault. This movie doesn't make sense, it's all over the place.

Went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised... Story was quirky and offbeat and was smart enough to let the viewer interpret the narrative.... Strong performances by the two leads, deftly parlaying the black humor sprinkled throughout the plot......Well directed with an interesting visual flair throughout the film..... Most definitely looking forward to more from this director and the actors involved...

The lead actress was good. She is very sexy. I actually enjoyed this film at 4:00am

I could write so many bad things about this movie. It could have been an entertaining film. Am I to believe EVERYONE this chick comes in contact with wants to be with her. Is she really that attractive? Uh no. Also, a person doesn't overcome alcoholism that easily, no matter if they did endure a tragic episode like she did. One can tell this was a very low budget film.
