Half Empty/Half Full

Right from the onset you are drawn into this carefully crafted story about two couples reuniting for what should have been a very pleasant evening but turned out to be anything but. As layer after layer is peeled back, each characters innermost feelings of jealously, anger and more Is exposed. The writing is brilliant. Interspersed throughout the dialogue are well timed laughs that serve to break up the ever apparent tension. With twists and turns, the viewer could never suspect its ending, which leaves you thinking a long time after the movie has concluded. This movie is well worth watching a second time.

Excellent acting, particularly the two women. Would make a great play in a small theater.

Love it when a seemingly minor dispute unearths a whole convincing history of deep-rooted issues. Clever how this film centers that dispute around something so simple, yet so loaded with social and symbolic importance, as a glass of wine.

Watched with my wife and mother-in-law. We had a lengthy and engrossing discussion afterward. It's that kind of story: Complex, intertwined conflicts. Well-written, energetic dialogue that delves into interesting moral/social territory. Sticks with you after the credits roll. Ripe for debate.

Strong performances from the four actors here, too. Great chemistry with one another. Both fun and uncomfortable to watch their give-and-take, as the tension escalates.

This ambitious film tackles some of the deepest feelings so many people grapple with and try to get rid of-envy, jealousy and more. The actors did a fine job as the movies themes unfold and build to a dramatic crescendo. This movie is sure to entertain with a combination of dry humor and unraveling and heightened drama.

With real dialogue and great performances, these four actors bring to life a captivating, thought-provoking, and often uncomfortable dinner. This film is definitely worth watching and then pondering the life choices and decisions made by each character!
