When Life Keeps Getting in the Way

Dramatic story with funny scenes. I guess life is full of both dramatic and funny moments. Donna Mills shines as a woman piecing together her shattered past in chaotic LA. With a witty script by Lili Matta, the film balances heart-wrenching drama with laugh-out-loud moments. Relatable and engaging, the story explores the struggles of finding genuine connections in a city of superficiality. Julie Sabray and Geoffrey M. Reeves deliver standout supporting performances. A must-watch for anyone who's ever navigated the ups and downs of life and love in the city of angels!" In other words it's "A poignant and hilarious journey!"

**** Nice little independent movie with strong themes such as death, suicide, the complexity of relationships. ***

It dives deeply into the complexities of navigating adulthood.

Don't be fooled by the breezy Los Angeles setting; the film tackles weighty themes like loss, grief, and the scars left by past trauma.

The protagonist's journey of self-discovery is fueled by the lingering shadow of death, possibly even suicide, forcing her to confront the ghosts of her past and the challenges of forging genuine connections in a city known for fleeting encounters.

Life Gets in the Way is a poignant exploration of resilience and the human spirit's ability to find hope even in the face of darkness.

You have to appreciate a truly independent film, one that clearly comes from the heart of the filmmaker. A sincere story about how our past traumas manifest in our current lives no matter how many years later. The drama pulls as your heart strings, and the comedy makes you smile ear to ear. And in one way or another we can all relate to it!

If you have a heart....This is for sure a must see movie! I had watched it a year ago and added a review on Amazon.ca. I watched it again recently with some friends, and i wanted to share my opinion once again. This is a very touchy story about how someone finds themselves molded by their past while trying to live their present. It is a very emotional film. I felt that it was a bitter-sweet story. very beautifully written. Two thumbs up !

A nice and independent movie with a great story line combining drama and some humour. The film is about the difficulties of life and the complexities of relationships. I find it very nice, engaging and realistic. The characters are well chosen and the actors perform well in this movie. A must see.
