Romantic movies always generate a lot of emotions and memories from past in the audience. This movie is also same. A very good combination of love,touches, despair, destruction and bondage of human life. The story starts with the relationship of a young couple as they desperately loves each other. They were flying through their mind with lot of emotions exhibited everywhere in the park, road, home courtyard,hotel, beaches etc. Their life and affair was going perfectly with no obstacles.

But soon the cloud appeared as the actor became addicted with alcohol. He discovered some facts about his past and that drives him into frustration. He is separated from the girl and liqour became his girlfriend.But soon he has to choose one between alcohol and his beloved girlfriend. You have to wait until the climax to see the result.

The chemistry between them is awesome. They have acted like a good couple of young age..explosive with their actions and attractions..nice to see such romances..The overall sequence of the movie is also very clear, so the audience will have to sit and enjoy.

Some portion of the movie creates some sort of complaints. Like the director tried to make it a combination of mystery and romance but that never really helped the course of it.

But overall a good romantic drama....

This indie drama has a solid storyline with a great cast that explores the importance of self-worth when it comes to successful relationships in life. The use flashbacks were a creative way to present the significant moments from the character's pasts that informed both the audience and the characters in valuable way that made for an overall feel good movie that's worth a watch.

This was a thoughtful and powerful meditation on addiction, and it is largely carried on the shoulders of the two leads, Tyler Bruhn and the stunning Karenssa LeGear, who is, interestingly enough, actually Australian - it's a testament to how good her acting is that her accent never breaks.

This was a well written love story that I thought would have a certain ending but they fooled me. I love how u showed the real strength of a woman and she didn't back down. Acting was very good in it. A must see

This film really shows the troubles of a young alcoholic man. No matter how bad you want to do right you are held back by addiction and guilt. Not all have a chance or make it out alive that's for sure. Recommended.

A low budget movie with the story so simple it is transparent.

A beautiful yet sad story that portrays the overcoming of alcohol addiction. This film captures the essences of strong relationships that forge through rough circumstances. The story has many layers and unexpected twists, with a strong plot and strong character development that will embrace you as the story progress. Overall a great indie gem.

I was looking for films tackling addiction, and came across Carving a Life. What a find! Great performances, outstanding filmmaking, and a broadcast quality production. I don't want to give any spoilers, but well worth watching to the end.

I really liked the two leads, therefore I was totally drawn into the story when their fairytale love story spirals down. This drama about a couple having to deal with addiction issues and all the terrible effects in can have on a relationship has a very true ring to it, one which everyone possibly can relate to if you replace the addiction with your own relationship issues. The ultimate question, should you leave someone or continue to work on the relationship is the centre of this film and a question possibly everyone has asked themselves at least once in their lifetime.

Nice visuals, a good souundtrack and great directing make this film an indie gem to watch out for.

Heartfelt film pulls the viewer in immediately with alluring visuals, likable leads with good on screen chemistry, a strong soundtrack and a feel for how relationships begin, develop and evolve over time. It shows how addiction issues can creep up on a couple and are often not quickly or easily resolved. It somehow pulls off the neat trick of being tightly constructed despite unfolding over several years. The middle section showing the husband's frequent drunken episodes is a bit repetitive, but this is an issue that dogs most movies about addiction. Overall it is a moving story of a loving couple grapping with a serious problem. The two leads are quite good. You will find yourself rooting for them.

Charming slice of life indie flick. A bit of a romance drama coming of age story - young adults moving into maturity, struggling with true to life issues like alcoholism and starting a family. Very affable and relatable characters. Nice camera work and very good sound quality.

This film takes a very honest look at the toll that addiction can take on a relationship. Very honest perfomances from the leads. Great soundtrack. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Carving A Life is a touching Indie drama about a couple who falls in love and gets married. And where the man, Mitch, further falls into the toxic depth of alcoholism. Thus, making the relationship an unhealthy one, to say the least. The story and characters felt authentic. Great Indie film!

This true to life drama handles the subject of alcoholism bravely and with sensitivity. Bolstered by great cinematography and sharp editing, this extremely well written and expertly directed film makes the trajectory of these characters and their relationship believable throughout. The leads share a really nice chemistry with each other, and their genuine performances help make every moment resonate. Every facet of this production is handled with great skill. The whole team should be proud of the beautiful and authentic film that they created.

A charming, uplifting and sometimes tragic depiction of the highs and lows of a relationship. The film is very natural in the way it is shot, with a lovely chemistry between its central characters who give excellent performances. Get your tissues ready and enjoy.

Carving a Life is a touching drama about a young man, Mitch, who falls in love and marries his girlfriend, Lauren. Their idyllic relationship soon starts to unravel as Mitch displays a worsening drinking problem that starts to destroy his life. Mitch must deal with a tragedy in his past so that he can overcome his alcoholism and repair his marriage before their son is born.

The film reminded me in some ways of A Star is Born, which is a big compliment, and I think a lot of other viewers will feel the same connection. The young lead actors are talented and carry the film. The soundtrack is also quite good and there's a song that I particularly liked later in the film. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Navid Negahban, Abu Nazir from TV's Homeland, in a small role in the film. Ultimately, Carving a Life is a very well made drama about overcoming addiction, confronting your past, and mending your relationships. I would highly recommend Carving a Life to everyone.

This is one of those Hallmark films that just makes you feel good. It gives you the heart warming feeling that love can conquer all, which is something I think we all need a bit of from time to time. It's really well filmed with a nice soundtrack.

In their latest piece, director Terry Ross and writer Lisa Bruhn present a young couple navigating the trials of adult life as they work to sort out their own baggage and plan for a future neither was quite expecting. Aside from the meet cute and the romantic opening act, most of the film depicts a rather toxic relationship (largely at the expense of Lauren and due to the actions of the alcoholic Mitch) to - sadly, perhaps - much success. The filmmakers have clearly experienced similar relationships and imbue their characters with authenticity throughout. As such, at times it feels like this couple should just part ways, but the spark between them makes it hard to not root for them to sort things out. By the end of it all, you can't help feeling that this is true life and that every relationship has it's problems to work through, some more intense than others. Sure it would be much easier to run away, but do you lose more than you gain by doing so? "A Carving Life" examines this question and offers some input, but ultimately leaves viewers with much to think on after the credits finish.

CARVING A LIFE is a really nice indie find! It deals with the very real problem of addiction in a non- cliché way rather than veering off into Melodrama like so many films before it. The camera work is awesome and professional and the editing is super creative and non-linear. The cast is also really strong, especially the leads. Performances this strong keep you in the story and make it feel very powerful. If you've ever dealt with friends or family with addiction problems and issues like these, this film will really resonate with you. Great work!

Carving a Life takes a realistic approach to addiction and romance, and especially how one affects the other. It is a wonderfully told story with decent acting all around. It is not the sort of film I would typically go for, but I definitely enjoyed it and we recommend it to others.

So glad I found this indie gem! This touching drama centers around the ups and downs of a relationship challenged and tested by addiction and it's destructive forces. The lead actors have undeniable chemistry which makes the journey more believable and makes you the viewer have a stake in whether they will persevere. Highly recommended!

What begins as a Hallmark-like film elevates itself with a thoughtful exploration on alcoholism, fatherhood, responsibility and past hurts. These topics are explored thoughtfully which make for an engaging film that is well acted and well shot, and ultimately a satisfying, emotional experience.

This film deals with an important subject and shows how the lead deals with his demons and makes the decision to overcome them. Terry Ross and Lisa Bruhn do a terrific job depicting how a person can descend into alcoholism despite having every incentive to overcome it. "Carving a Life" has an edge and a message. Well worth watching.

Carving a Life is a beautiful film. The acting was spot on and the story itself too - and these are the two main aspects that makes a movie good or bad for me. Although alcohol was a big interference and distraction in their relationship and lives, I feel that the alcohol does not necessarily have to be just alcohol. It can also be a metaphor for an infinite list of things that interfere in relationships. The beauty of the story is how it is overcome and the ending of the story (which I won't reveal here and spoil it all). It left me with a lot of feelings and realizations...and questions, after watching it. In short, it was brilliant!
