    Amazing cast

    Wow! What an excellent film! The cast was beyond talented and the topic was beyond real. The cast and crew deserve praise and recognition for this award winning film. The acting was authentic and real. Directors Renee Wood and Michele Frantzeskos did an amazing job! All female production. Jane Dashow did an incredible job with editing and sound. I'm hoping to see another film with this cast. They all have amazing charisma and did an outstanding performance on this topic. Mental health is real and I thank everyone involved with this film!! U all did an extraordinary job! Covid was a hard tough time for this planet and I commend all who were involved in this movie to help raise awareness for mental health and to feel safe to talk about your feelings and emotions.

    Not so good

    I watched this with my girlfriend because I was interested in watching a show that talked about the Covid pandemic quarantine, and the mental health effects had a different communities. The show has no diversity and does not talk about quarantine Covid so the title is very misleading rather you see a FaceTime video of four people talking about their personal lives and they never seem to discuss the impact that the pandemic has on them so it was misleading. Also, the script made no sense. Not sure how this was filmed, as it looks like, for FaceTime videos consolidated into one, but it was not professionally filmed, and the lighting in each of the four characters backgrounds was very dim and empty.

    Outstanding film. Great cast

    This film was great! Covid was a hard time. This film inspired me to think positive! The cast was outstanding! Renee Wood and Michele Frantzeskos are highly talented. Their acting skills are outstanding. They give a truthful and honest performance. William Demeo and Steve Stanilis were excellent. Super star cast and the script was amazing! I recommend everyone to watch this film. Made me feel great after watching it. The characters are so relatable. I felt like I was right there with them. Very believable. It's a great film and really puts you with them, you feel like you know them and want to be friends with them.

    Terrible Show; Poorly Done

    This is the absolute worst show I have ever seen. The acting was very bad especially by Renee Wood who over acts the role and sheds fake tears. Michele Frantzeskos is barely audible and speaks very low you cannot hear anything. Their worst actor was William Demeo who tries to play a psychiatrist and is not convincing. The only actor that was good was Steve Stanilus who did a good job delivering his lines. Also, the cinematography was non existent and this looks like it was filmed in zoom. My favorite scene was when Michele tells Renee she will do whatever it takes to remove criticism she does not like.

    Do Not Waste Your Time

    Not sure where to start so I can send a list: 1. Cinematography: is non existent as these no name wannabee actors are filming inside their homes. William DeMeo looks like he is in the Poconos.

    2. Acting: Not one good actor. Renee sounds silly with the fake tears. Michele sounds like a frustrated real estate agent. Steve Stanulis is inaudible. The worst actor was William DeMeo who is in no way believable as a doctor.

    3. Scripts: the scripts are non existent as the dialogue is just a mix of nonsense.

    The film does not explore the real effects that their pandemic had. Instead we are treated to a COMEDY of actors over acting their parts.

    The scene when William DeMeo admits his name is William seinwels and that he previously worked as a scam artist by fooling patients with a fake religious act is a well known scene that I have no words for.
