When Life Keeps Getting in the Way

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!

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!"

Sometimes the ego is so big that we are in it. This character is showing it very clearly, a good lesson for those who can understand it. Another good lesson... it happens that we see something that appears to be how we see it, and we convince ourselves that it is true without thinking that perhaps there could be another explanation. Again our pride and bad mind is so huge that it drives us to believe what we thought we saw instead of waiting a minute, breathing and letting others explain. After that we can decide, and perhaps we can spare ourselves greater suffering. Of course, this is a movie and it has to last at least one hour, but in the real life, many times it happens as I just described, because of our immense ego. Good actors, director, story, absolutely well done!

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.

This independent film is about the essence of life and its many challenges, focusing on themes like loneliness, complicated relationships, and the constant presence of death, especially suicide.

The story is smartly written and captures the true, raw emotions of the characters, offering a genuine look at human struggles.

Through its unique storytelling, the film explores the fine line between hope and despair, encouraging viewers to think about how these themes affect their own lives.

Its thoughtful cinematography and strong performances leave a lasting impact, making it a powerful and memorable film to watch.
