The Thin Line

If you want to see something different you should watch this you'll be pleasently surprized.

A different take on a young adult romance. I'd never heard of this film nor the cast but I watched it by chance but I was pleasantly surprised. The acting was well done and I found myself actually interested in the characters. Its listed as a romance/comedy but there was actually a lot going on behind the scenes that makes it more than that. Definitely worth a watch.

The Thin Line is a great example of how to make a movie feel familiar but unique and funny but heartfelt - in a backward sort of way. The animation segments are quite entertaining and well done and the production value in the film is top notch. I'm admittedly biased, because I worked on the film, but I've worked on a lot of things that I don't really endorse because they're not that good. This is definitely that good. It's hilarious and memorable and hits all the right notes. Definitely take a look!

The fast pace editing and self deprecating monologues topped by the use of animation in the first 5 minutes got me hooked up right away, but it's the characters that made me keep watching. This is an unorthodox comedy tries its hardest to pay its dues to 90s comedies like Clerks, Singles and a hint of High Fidelity. Ok, the inventive editing and endearing acting might be a bit off key at times compared to those masterpieces, and The Thin line might not be the cult classic for a generation that the three above mentioned unforgettable gems definitely are, but if you're nostalgic for movies of that era, the charm & intent of a flick matters more than a crispy execution and super lovable characters, there's a high chance you will enjoy this light-hearted slice of charm that indeed has a soul. A weird one, as flawed as humans can be, with its multiple moods, tone turns and weird life lessons coming out of nowhere, but a soul nonetheless.
