In a Day

This movie is amazingly wow. It is beautiful combination of keeping the positive perspective of life and the usual life's ups and downs. The director has conveyed an inspiring message that a good deed never gets wasted. What we do in life comes back to us, sooner or later. There is always a way back to be harmonious with the nature. Live the life with whatever it offers you. The movie goes at a constant rhythm. The conversation is yet so normal but one feels it something new. It is a rare movie of its own kind. Apparently two ordinary persons run into each other and start off a conversation that takes the day revealing very slowly the different shades of the personalities. The beauty of the movie is that it shows purity. We humans are very strange beings. The more we explore the beauty inside the more we get it and it never ends. In the end I would say that love overcomes all the hardships or for that matter anything. Bravo the director.

I was looking at movies you can stream on Netflix. I see this movie "In A Day" and it keeps staring in my face. I don't know if I would like the movie but there was something out there telling me to watch this movie. You have Lorraine Pilkington who plays Ashely. Ashley works at a local sandwich shop. She is waiting at a bus stop and someone throws hot coffee on her. Why would this person do this? I don't know. She runs into a man who frequents this sandwich shop who offers to clean her up and cheer her up.

This ends up being a charming little movie. This movie has the elements of a Romantic Comedy in it mixed in with some more serious dialog and content. This movie does deal with some more serious issues such as bullying. I noticed a few people didn't like this movie. I'm guessing they were expecting this be a romantic comedy and these more serious elements changed how they felt about this movie. I don't think there were any serious problems with this movie. This movie is fairly straightforward. Most of this movie deals with this guy trying to cheer up this woman who so far has had a bad day. I would say this is a good movie to watch.

"In a Day" is a character drama disguised as a romantic comedy. The poster, reviews and other advertisements market this film as a romantic comedy. That's the easy way out as there is more to it.

Our heroine is Ashley, a struggling musician working at a sandwich café. When she has a bad day, a generous stranger Michael is there to sweep her off her feet and fill her with indulgences and confessions. It certainly sounds like a romantic comedy but instead of playing it out with comedy and romance, we get character development. We slowly learn more about Michael and Ashley, their past and what they want out of life.

It's not dark or menacing but it's also not light weight. It has a message; the film-makers have something they want to say. I'm not entirely sure I agree, but I appreciate their venture. "In a Day" took similar avenues that "You Again" (2010) tried, but this film did it with so much more intelligence that I had to knock "You Again" down a star.

If you like indie films with a message and heart, then I recommend "In a Day".

the beginning was a bit slow and contrived. our hero is not immediately appealing and is, in fact, downright geeky.

but i stuck with it and was rewarded with a delightful, unfolding story.

rare to find a film with a watchable beginning, middle, and ending. and a theme to boot! OK, i thought the ending was hollywoodish, capra-esque. i might have preferred a lady or the tiger type of ending because true forgiveness and redemption does not come that easy imho.

i'm so critical but this is still the best movie i've seen in some time. view and enjoy!

I saw this movie at a film festival in San Jose today and it was very lovely. The film has some great characters and situations and dialog. It reminds me of an early Woody Allen film. The movie is about a struggling musician named Ahsley who has a very horrible encounter with a man at a bus stop just to have another great one a few minutes later. The second encounter is with a man named Michael who takes Ashley out for one of the grandest day she's ever had. Michael however has a secret he's afraid might change Ashley's impression of him. Overall i would highly recommend checking this indie film out. Also, it had an ending that could has been over the top because of the build up but it ends up being very satisfying, like the rest of the film.
