32 Weeks

Starts out by channelling the spirit of that other seminal Los Angeles-set romantic indie 'In Search of a Midnight Kiss', but then subverts your expectations in a deliciously unexpected way. Definitely worth a watch.

Saw as part of the Rome International Film Festival. Didn't know much other than the amnesia aspect of the movie. Had a couple of red herrings I fell for. Definitely well written independent movie that goes in a completely different direction than I was expecting in the final 20 to 30 minutes or so. Lead actress was great and the others were pretty good themselves.

I was pleaseantly surprised my 32 weeks. Beautifully shot and acted. A car accident leaves a young woman with amnesia. This film looks like it's going in one direction and surprises the audience. The films plays with memory, emotion, longing, and love. I highly recommend it.

I was drawn to this movie initially by it's cover (yes sometimes one is allowed to be superficial), but the reason I started watching it is a personal one. I've been in a similar situation in my teens, unfortunately without the yummy guys fighting for my love, so it was quite confronting for me to watch. That being said, I was impressed with how accurate the story was in line with my one feelings I had at the time, almost like the writers went to something similar.

Anyhow, even if you haven't suffered through amnesia yourself, it's a good story and original at that (which I rare to come by this days), grab some tissues though!

The movie develops on a very interesting premise, and does so in a way that is not reinventing the wheel without being boring at the same time. Ends up keeping you in a comfortable space while keeping you hooked. The movie looks the part and the acting is decent overall. Nice touch on the final twist, well done!
