Inez & Doug & Kira

This is an emotionally moving and satisfying film about characters dealing with love, grief, and the bonds between sisters and spouses. The three lead performances are strong especially Tawny Cypress and Talia Thiesfield as sisters with an intimate bond that feels realistic and deeply-experienced. These are intelligent characters who have to process their shared history with each other. This makes their actions, and story, feel all the more touching and poignant. The filmmaking is likewise strong and doesn't distract from the emotional core of the story. Especially beautiful is the subtle score and the softly-lit cinematography. The setting of this film is intimate but the emotional scale is universal.

This was such a subtle and sensitive film, a seductive study of relationship dynamics. You don't see the turns coming. Fabulous performances, gorgeous direction. Really the best of what indie filmmaking can be. Highly recommend it!!!

There are some films that I need to watch more than once, many movies I screen several times. This story is powerful and sometimes raw. The acting is top notch (one of the reason I watched it twice.) "Inez & Doug & KIra" has the feel of a foreign film -- it is not a slick Hollywood production, but something that you would see in an "art house". It is one of those film that stays with you after the credits have stopped rolling; one that you feel the need to dicuss with other people. Although, I hadn't heard of the actors before, they all delivered strong performnaces and this movie showcases their talents.

Compelling story from start to finish. Challenging material to handle delicately, but they did a good job with the tough subject matter. I cared about the characters and was engrossed the whole time.

This is not your average love story. Starting with, one of the members of this intriguing love triangle is dead. It's a combination drama and mystery story that grows more intriguing as it unfolds. And it's a very well made film. The cast is excellent. You will recognize many of the actors. The director has an eye for talent, and she directs her intelligent cast with a sure hand. And you will absolutely believe the reality of the story. The depictions of AA, addiction, bipolar disorder, etc. Are all handled well. It's a complex, interesting film that doesn't settle for easy answers. I heartily recommend it.
