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.

Absolutely beautiful film complete with wonderful acting and directing. The undeniable chemistry between main characters left me wanting for more, the love story was sincere and touching. The sub-stories with hotel staff were absolutely hilarious, almost theatrical, giving it a nice backdrop and a well- balanced contrast to the main storyline which felt real and gentle. Loved the film. May we have a sequel?

I really liked this movie so I am writing this review to encourage others to watch I hope the Director/writer writes another one or gives us a sequel. The plot of the movie is fresh. At first, it moves slow and then picks up. It is like love.

I really like the lead actress. How she speaks is sooo sexy. You can feel the love. Watch it.

The main characters are great, with such chemistry and believability. They kept this movie together.

Unfortunately, most of the side characters were more like caricatures, almost derailing the entire thing. Have to place the blame on the writer/director.

The characters and antics of the hotel employees was just too over the top, and ended up being more of a distraction than anything. I'm not convinced that they even needed to exist, as they lent virtually nothing to the plot.

If you ever come across this movie in search for a genuine heartfelt love story, you really don't have to look any further... This was very much in line with films like Richard Linklater's "Before Sunrise", where the dialog flows so naturally along the movie and the connection between the main characters is so palpable that you sometimes even forget about the storyline; you feel as if you are right there with them and even begin to feel the same feelings. It's just wonderful. If one of the main objectives of a film is to move you, then this one gets top marks. You could guess this movie wasn't made on a particularly high budget, but you definitely don't feel it throughout: good sound, good photography, great actors... Very well done. Highly recommended.
