Life in Color

This is a simple story. Two depressed young people meet and kind of help each other. Both of them are very likeable characters and you root for them. Simple story but extremely well executed. The rhythm of the film, the dialogues, the scenery, the mood, are all excellent and fitting. Great film, worth your time. Congratulations to the director and the actors!

I liked the sound of the plot but wasn't sure after watching the trailer whether this movie would be too indie and too drama for my tastes. I was pleasantly surprised that the movie is quite funny throughout while still handling serious subject matter with maturity. It's consistently engaging and was over before I knew it.

As a great consumer of romantic comedies I can always appreciate one that walks to the beat of its own drum and this one definitely does. Mary and Homer aren't looking for love, with each other or anyone, but love happens anyway. It's a beautiful story of two broken, unhappy people who were able to challenge each other to climb their way out of the ruts their lives had become and find something meaningful individually and together.

I wasn't expecting much from this movie suggested by Prime. It started with a depressing look into Mary's life as a nanny. Not exactly a romantic comedy but comedic and romantic elements.

Loved this film. Had some great real-life material about depression, and struggle after trauma, families, friends, etc. The acting, and story, and cinematography was so beautiful and seamless I was completely engulfed in the film. Excellent characters, beautiful locations. Felt like a romantic comedy that could actually happen. Maybe it did happen?? Thank you for making this beautiful film!

Really impressed by the acting of Josh McDermitt! I was thinking about how familiar he looked, but I was not putting him together with his Walking Dead character. This is not just because of the lack of a dark coloured mullet, but mostly because he manages to alter his entire demeanor. I suspect this character is closer to his own personality and mannerism, which is a testament to how well he morphs into Eugene.

I found Homer really likable and relatable...and even though I found Mary much less likable, I did find her maybe even more relatable (in an uncomfortable way that made me want to slap both of us a little bit)!

Simple story, but done with realistic and subtle beauty. Nicely done by everyone involved.
