Unintended

The best stories are those that lead the reader, listener or viewer in a way that mimics the unpredictable nature of life. Unintended does just that. Various narratives coalesce into a thread that cathartically resolves itself in unique and suspenseful circumstances. Writing, acting, cinematography and score all well done !

This low-key drama involves elements of mystery as a young woman struggles with years of devastation and despair from a childhood incident. She is now in a seriously disturbed state and seems to be facing incipient mental breakdown. The story traces her ordeal with fears, disbelief from others and thwarted memories. Technically the film is very well made and shot (with the DP making the most of the beautiful Hudson Valley scenery). There are excellent performances from the lead players and cast. Elizabeth Lail and Hannah Westerfield are remarkably convincing as the 'older' and 'younger' versions of the main character. The movie is not a thriller or action drama and there are a few stretched coincidences in the plot but overall it holds together as a credible and satisfying story.

This is a lovely, intimate independent film that has surprising twists and turns by a wonderful cast that turns in great, eclectic and emotionally compelling performances. In short, a little gem.

The script, acting, and photography are tops. Such a delight to discover something so good. I can't think of a mis step here. It flows so well. The first jump into the quarry awakened my interest. A brave girl jumps, and the boy goes home. Characters are provocative without being weird. Like Sam an older man who cares about a young girl, but not in a bad way. The landscape is green and untouched.

Story of accidents happened n make someone unforgivable of herself. Watching it cuz of You TV drama.
