Cosmic. Intelligent. Thoughtful. Heartbreaking. Funny. Beautiful... The Allnighter is a strong independent film directed by Aimee Graham, who is the real driver on the quirky road trip to self discovery. There are moments that make you laugh as well as cry, and the best part is, it's never about the destination. It's about the journey, characters, and drive to tell a compelling story about two unlikely people who find one another (in the worst way possible).

If you enjoy lighthearted, smart filmmaking, The Allnighter is definitely worth checking out. I enjoyed every second of it and recommend it highly.

It's a movie with a story that goes in directions you won't expect. That's appropriate, being about a brainy student of astrophysics who is trying to figure out how the world works, while have to juggle ticking clocks and pressures that life throws at him from all sides.

The movie has moments of thrills, scenes of honest heart-to-hearts, and sequences of frustration and relief.

I recommend this movie to those who like seeing what life is like for people coming from all kinds of backgrounds or life situations. If it looks like just a low-key independent film, viewers may be surprised how a little bit of honest storytelling can pack a real emotional punch.

If you like being kept off balance and in a pleasant state of confusion with offbeat characters and unpredictable, almost attention-deficit-disorder story development, this is the movie for you. It has a David O Russell quality. The two leads are enigmatic but compelling. You may not like them at first, but they grow on you as they grow on each other. Populated with strong character actors like James Russo, David Koechner, Sylvia Kelegian (who almost steals the movie as a gambling addict mom) and Tom Lister Jr (whose character I didn't fully understand) this is a movie that defies easy categorization as indie films often do - which makes the best of them so refreshing. It ends on a beautiful grace note that allows it to continue on in the imagination.

The Allnighter is a great indie comedy drama with strong leading characters and a great story about growing into adulthood. The two leads Terence (played by Owen Beckman) and Belle (played by Gretchen Lodge) are very likable even though they have their flaws! I was surprised to see so many well known actors in this indie movie. Keep an eye out for Justine Bateman, David Koechner, Tom Lister Jr, James Russo and Naomi Grossman just to name a few. I highly recommend giving this movie and watch as I truly enjoyed it and give it two thumbs up! Looking forward to seeing what Aimee Graham does next!!
