How He Fell in Love

I caught this terrific movie at LA Film Fest in 2015, glad to see it's getting distribution. The film features fantastic performances from the leads Amy Hargreaves, Matt McGorry and the ensemble cast. And its always great to see veteran character actor Mark Blum. It was beautifully shot (made me miss NYC), scored and confidently written and directed by Marc Meyers. This is a grown-up film about grown-ups. Full disclosure, I have known and worked with the director. Its been wonderful to watch him to grow into the assured filmmaker that brought about this work. This film is everything we love about independent film. Bravo and highly recommend!

I had the privilege of seeing this film at the LA Film Festival. I was struck by how authentic the performances are and how much chemistry was shared between Travis (Matt McGorry) and Ellen (Amy Hargreaves). The story unfolds beautifully due to the strong direction from Marc Meyers and skillful editing from Jamie Kirkpatrick. The cinematography from Ruben O'Malley is intimate and invites us into how the two leads fall in love. I sincerely hope that this film gets picked up. I think it would resonate with many of us who are trying to find our way in the world and who believe we lack that one element in our lives that would make us whole.

I love Indy movies and this gem is a really good one . The negative review on this movie makes no sense at all and I am guessing this person simply did not like the subject matter. They seem jilted and maybe this movie triggered something.

Ellen is an older married woman who meets younger struggling musician Travis. They embark in an affair stirring up all sorts of crazy emotions. Both actors portrayed their roles beautifully. .

Matt McGorry definitely is in his prime here..looks wise. Cute boyish with a athletic muscular build. He played this part so well...

Amy Hargreaves was cast perfectly and her petite muscular build was perfect as a yoga instructor. Her husband is played by Mark Blum (RIP) who you may recognized as the boyfriend in the 80's hit "Crocodile Dundee".

Definitely worth a watch.

Wow, this movie was so great! It felt so very real and true to life. The two leads were fantastic! I'm gushing, I know, but this is a gem if you appreciate great art and the craziness and unpredictability of the human heart. This was touching and heartbreaking and sweet and so much more. I commend the screenwriter, the director, and the two leads. I hope you have much success in the future.

This movie did not resonate with me. Many people confuse infatuation and lust with love. There is absolutely no development that would even remotely lead to love. I found it to be boring, fake emotions and an absolute lack of chemistry between leading actors. While Amy Hargreaves was OK, Matt McGorry was completely flat. I did not like or cared about the characters. 44 years old Ellen turned out to be emotionally unstable and insecure, and behaved like a teenager. Not really attractive. Older women usually are secure and confident and that is what attracts young men. Here, Ellen is not much different than Monica, who is in her 20s. Fights between Henry and Ellen were really out of place and did not contribute anything to the story. Some dialogues where pretty stupid (You dried my eggs, LOL).
