Getting to Know You

Natasha Little, Rupert Penny-Jones, and Rachel Blanchard star in this well made film. The trick that works is the visible chemistry between Little and Penny-Jones. That tension never realized builds like a forest fire that consumes everything. Their attraction is so explosive that the screen is filled with that unrealized love. This is the first time I have seen something so tangible that is unrequited. There is a lesson in the power of not acting out a momentous emotion until the final moment is consumed by the longest most gentle, lingering kiss. This is a perfect love story where no intercourse interferes.

Not the cinematic or crazy deep type of movies, just a very sweet movie with some humour. Perfect for holidays or when you want something bright and easy. I liked it.

Not 100% solid all the way through. Some of the plot contrivances are forced, but nonetheless, surprisingly touching here and there - and the unpredictable plot keeps us guessing and involved to the end. NIce to see a movie without villains or violence.

The acting by the leads was exceptional, particularly Natasha Little. The first three supporting actor over the top performances were for me unconvincing and cringeworthy.

I am glad I kept watching; almost stopped at initial supporting actor performances. I haven't been to a stage play in decades, but this seems very like one.

Deep love for someone with whom a life is impossible is a heartbreak I hope few experience.

If you ever encountered someone for a brief period and wondered 'what if', you will enjoy this film. Not hilarious, but some comical moments and no sap. Recommend.
