Maybe Forever

Maybe Forever is a stylishly told, poetic story of a relationship. It's beautifully shot and told. It feels simple, but there is also great depth to it. The performances are affecting, and the story pulls the viewer right in as the two main characters look back at their history together. The soundtrack is also really nicely done and matches the feel of the film exactly as it should. The natural-feeling chemistry between the leads is also notable.

Kudos to Ruby and George Capacete for what they have made. It's an uplifting, dreamy film, obviously made with a great deal of love. Lovely and well worth watching.

Maybe Forever feels like one of those movies you watch when you just want to chill and take in some emotional moments. The story follows Greg and Sofia over the course of a day, and it's really just about them walking around Los Angeles, talking about life, love, and everything in between. It's simple, but there's something real and relatable about it. I love how the movie captures that first spark between two people when they're just starting to open up to each other. It makes you end up rooting for them as they connect. The scenes are all about conversations-deep, vulnerable talks that feel genuine. If you're into films that make you reflect on love and relationships, this one definitely hits the mark.

Remember when YOU first fell in love after what seemed to be a kazillion false starts with other people? And how literally everything was the best ever, even the most banal and mundane? Well, this film takes on that journey, where every moment spent with your person can make your heart skip a beat. The plot of this film is deliberate, just spending like a languid day spent in the arms of "The One", which perfectly encapsulates what this movie is about. Directing/writing/producing team Ruby and George Capacete (who themselves are a recently married couple) have put together what seems to be (to me, anyway) a gentle day-in-the-life story that chronicles their own journey of finally finding what we all long for ... to love and be loved in return. O.

I didn't know that the two lead characters were a real couple until I read the credits but it was very obvious with the natural connection between them. Following the couple on a day around LA it is rather like people watching and eavesdropping on a couple's private conversation with all of the minutiae and minor details that they talk about. The copious amount of physical touching and hand holding is reminiscent of first dates and early dating with rapt infatuation with one another all day long. Perhaps this is a reminder to rekindle those days with our own partners lest we fall into mediocrity and routine. This film was a nice reminder to cherish the small details.

Maybe Forever (2024) is a tender, introspective indie romance that invites viewers into the quiet magic of a single day shared between two people falling in love. Written, directed, and performed by real-life couple George and Ruby Capacete, the film follows Sofia and Greg as they wander through Los Angeles, engaging in heartfelt conversations and savoring the small moments that define their connection. With its minimalist style and poetic pacing, the film has drawn comparisons to Jim Jarmusch's Paterson and Richard Linklater's Before Sunset. Critics have praised its authenticity and emotional honesty, noting that it offers a refreshing portrayal of love without the typical conflicts and drama . At just 71 minutes, Maybe Forever is a gentle, soulful experience for those who appreciate the beauty in everyday intima.
