Weekend Healer

I'm surprised in how much I liked this film! At first I was reluctant to give this film I'd never heard of a try but I definitely started to get sucked in after a short while. All the performances felt very natural, almost the dialogue was semi improvised. It had some very funny parts every once in a while to break up the tension as well. I'd recommend this as a good watch if your looking for an indie film!

Weekend Healer is a subtle and thoughtfully told relationship drama. It's a slow burn with a litany of plot & character metaphors. If you're in the mood for a more engaged experience, this might be the movie for you. The film is understated in all of its elements, and they all go hand in hand with one another, even to the point of the color.

A very interesting and deeply uncomfortable film. This has a unique blend of an intense relationship drama, in the vein of Blue Valentine, with major horror vibes. It plays with the 'isolated couple in the woods' sub-genre of horror in very effective ways, as the deterioration of the central couples relationship is set against the backdrop of paranoia and a potentially malevolent external force. Scenes are given lots of time to develop, usually slowly spiralling to a point of pure excruciating discomfort, that on occasion I actively had to stand up from my sofa and do a silly little walk around my living room. The line between well executed direction, performance improvisation and a naturalistic script is blurred to a point that I don't know where to put my compliments. All of those things I guess. Standout performance for me was Nick Pages-Oliver, such a great presence. Only criticism, I probably could have stayed in this world an extra 20 mins or so. Well done to the filmmakers involved.

This film is awesome! A triumph of low budget filmmaking and a joy to watch throughout. Nick Pages-Oliver is on fire in this. As Robert Livings 2nd feature, this solidified for me that every project he works on will have his magic touch, and he's got a great career ahead of him.

This is such a good film! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I thought the actors were spot on! The story was good too. It kept me interested. Great job folks!!
