Apart

Within the first five minutes I wanted to FB "like" the lead male actor. He didn't come across as over-acting, but came close a couple of times. There were just a couple of familiar faces which allowed me to get into the characters. It was nice not knowing where specifically this film took place because it was irrelevant to the plot. And the closing credits, well the credits had me thanking the whole crew for getting TOGETHER on this film. A great tie-in to the flow of the entire film.

Is it hard to follow? Yes. And all the more rewarding when you do.

This is film offers cerebral stimulation rather than couch-potato viewing. If you prefer not to use your imagination to draw conclusions, if you worry about being too confused to enjoy a film, or if you would rather spend an hour-and-a-half watching plots as deep as "See Spot Run" then don't watch this movie.

However, if you liked "Brick" and enjoy well written scripts, excellent visuals, and a kind of supernatural component to your films, I highly recommend "Apart."

Don't take my word for it. Netflix instant this film.

I friend of mine saw this movie at SXSW and recommended it to me. I'm not a big fan of independent films so I was reluctant to take her advise, but I'm so glad I did.

I was surprised to see recognizable actors and actresses like Bruce McGill and Joey Lauren Adams. Josh Danziger and Olesya Rulin were awesome in their lead roles. There are several twists and turns in the story that kept me engaged throughout the film.

Its rare to find an independent film put together this well. I didn't really feel like I was watching an independent film. The cinematography was great, the story was engaging and the acting was really good. I would definitely recommend this one.

I loved this movie! Simply put if you don't like art films don't watch it. You won't like it. However if you do like movies that give you a new beautiful experience, you'll probably like it. Phenomenal soundtrack! This is a very dreamscape esk film. Your not going to get the straight forward everything laid out from beginning to end experience like you do with most movies and that bothers a lot of people hence the poor rating. I thought the acting was excellent as well as the cinematography. I personally love the dreaming emotionally driven films(and music) so this movie was right up my ally. I normally don't write reviews but the poor rating that this movie was given on IMDb I felt was very unfair for how good it was. I understand it is a taste thing. It is just unfortunate that preference is mistaken for quality. If you like this type of movie, you can rest assured that it is of quality. This movie is kinda along the lines of Donnie Darko or The Butterfly effect as style and feeling and younger characters just with less of a budget. Despite the lack of budget though unlike some independent films you don't really notice. The film quality and acting If you like those movies I think you'll like this one.

I was randomly looking through movies on Netflix, and lately the recent chain of movies I have been watching are thriller type movies. But the "cerebral" movies caught my eye. The picture for the film was odd enough and the name as well, plus the description had a certain odd attraction to it. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but surely enough here I am typing out a review for it. The acting in Apart isn't bad at all, and the actual movie is put together quite well. With the colors (and just overall theme) that they use throughout the film the movie can seem rather dark and morbid. But after I watched the movie, I couldn't (and still can't) stop thinking about it and thus had to watch it another half a dozen times. So obviously I love the movie. There isn't any nudity. But there is some language. And the movie may be kinda disturbing to younger viewers. But overall it's a great movie that i would recommend to my friends, and encourage you to watch as well.

I had a chance to view this film at SXSW and it really blew me away. Far better than I ever would have expected from an indie movie, the screen play was top notch ( written in the spirit of Momento ) and the acting was spot on. Josh Danziger and Olesya Rulin both are able to portray characters with a wide range of emotions tough-out the multi-year time-line of the movie. Joey Lauren Adams and Bruce McGill both have smaller roles in the movie but use their time on screen to full effect.

Aside from the keep you on the end of your seat script, the movie also is also visually stunning, with great cinematography. It's really a pleasure to see, and it's a movie that ask you to think, as opposed to just watch.
