As an aspiring film maker, I like to research indie movies as much as possible. This one came to me as a recommendation on Amazon, and I was surprised with what I found.

IMDb says this movie was made with a two-thousand dollar budget and if that is true I am impressed as everything about it appears to be something with a much larger value. The lighting is questionable in some places and impeccable in others, and it comes as no surprise to see two cinematographers credited. Either way, the cinematography is at the least always interesting to see.

The acting is top notch, particularly from Christopher Cassarino and Martha Harms who, together, provide the greatest elements that the movie offers.

The story is bleak and somewhat cynical and the characters are mostly unlikable but the story still draws you in and despite your ability to really like these people you can't help but feel for their plight. When story of two characters concludes by the end of the movie you feel the heartache with them.

A few minor issues aside, this is a real indie gem that marks the sure signs of a capable director finding his voice, and I look forward to seeing the content he creates in the future.

8/10

If you like arthouse movies you'll want to check this one out. It's a unquie slice of life. A love story between southern hipsters. Don't expect an action movie, just relax to a southern pace and enjoy.

First of all, the categories may be misleading. This film is listed as a romance and really doesn't merit that category other than a few scenes. This is a depressing drama about relationships told in a refreshing way. This isn't a bad thing, but viewers going into this movie looking for a romance will be hit with disappointment afterward.

Martha Harms stands out above a cast that already shines, in the role of the turmoiled wife Naomi. Keep an eye on her.

The movie moves at a snail's pace so it might not be for everybody, but if you are prepared for a slow burn this one might just surprise you if you give it a chance.

Arc provides a fascinating look at the complicated and fragile nature of modern relationships by focusing on very real characters while also placing some emphasis how they're affected by technology. The later of which serves as a catalyst for many a failed relationship, and is a vital element that's sorely absent in recent films attempting to tackle the topic of infidelity.

Unlike many films with limited funding, the lower budget of Arc greatly enhances the rawness of pain and (minor) pleasure felt by its characters. Additionally, the fine acting, great script, and aware direction keep the film grounded and make it one to which viewers can easily relate.
