Long Nights Short Mornings

I love and hate this film, 20 years ago this was me and I didn't know what was going on with me my life, it hit a real nerve and I can see what an idiot I was. And the damage I did to both myself and those around me.

I do hope that others watch this emotional film about the chaotic life that drugs and lack of self worth can drag you into. And I hope that the experiences and knowledge that someone who comes out the otherside gains makes them into a better and more rounded human being.

Long nights and short mornings is brutality honest and true representation of how crazy things can get. And watching this has astounded me so much its like a mirror. It will not be everyones cup of tea but it deserves a better rating.

I love it because it was my life, I hate it because I wasted so many years living this lifestyle.

As a single man and life long bachelor. I can relate with the movie's premise: of a man seeking companionship and adventure. James the main character goes from woman to woman, each with a set of complex offerings. Beautifully made this movie captures the ins and outs of dating and discovering new adventure in the big city. Nothing beats the companionship of a woman or new conquest. Love does comes at a price and so does adventure. This movie harps on the timeless quest of finding the perfect mate in an imperfect world.

It's very possible that many people will not relate to this movie but having lived a similar life in the past I can say that this one really hit close to home. It brilliantly captured the lifestyle and the feelings between various singles in NYC, with a very heavy emphasis on the man's point of view. Shiloh Fernandez being the man in this case, a role that he absolutely nailed.

The movie was just very well done overall. It could have been cheesy but instead had a sophisticated Indy feel and swiftly moved through the many different situations and relationships.

A very interesting part of the film is a not-so-subtle reference to 'Women', a 1978 novel written by Charles Bukowski. I'm only guessing here but it seemed pretty evident that writer Chadd Harbold was heavily influenced by this novel, and if that was the case he certainly did the novel justice. I'll certainly be checking out some of Harbold's other works.

Don't be discouraged by the low IMDb rating. This one is much better than the 5.5 it had at the time of this review and definitely worth the watch.

Pushy, douchbag F-boys thinking that they're emotional gentlemen are the worst kind of characters to base a movie around. I don't care if he has dreamy, artsy ambitions for the future- that isn't cute, or a redeeming quality. And it's such a shame because this is a well constructed and performed indie drama, the exact kind of movie I'm drawn to, just the subject matter is so lame.

Also, why are there so many IMDB reviewers claiming they used to live the sort of lifestyle depicted in this film and can relate to it *so* much, so they *have* to give it a high rating to offset the low average score...weird.

Not your avg dating movie. The mood of the night, the sensuality of a french movie. Love is backside tragedy here. What he looks for is a mentor who can stop him from roaming down a lonely city(travis bicklish!). Amazingly moody and thoought provoking soundtrack by redding hunter. The actings are solid. The use of color and shade to evoke inner personalities. The spaces between dialogues. You remember the falling in loves in your live and all the fu*ed up moments in a instance. Doesn't matter if all the characters are attractive and desolating against you. You see the beauty of one of the last masculine portrayal of wet dream and nonprovoking malegaze. Director took an average storyline and made it a memorable epiphany of coped out relationship isses. Just fu"kin watch and absorb. 8/10 easily.
