Buckle up for a dramatically emotional and also comical ride.
"Sometimes left Behind, To Glitter in the Crack of Dawn", an artwork on the wall by New York artist Lawrence Weiner. This is the perfect beginning to this brilliant story within four walls, of two lonely people dancing around one another at their first intimate encounter out of the safety of their familiar office environment. "The Ghost is Dancing with Them"as the music indicates. How true!
Michael (Tim Dutton) is so uneasy in the beginning that he never lets go of his safe guard to shield off the intimacy of a two-way encounter. He even chooses the most uncomfortable seat within these four walls, but all the time holding on to his shield.
When Jackie (Eva Birthistle) reads her book to Michael (Timothy Dutton) she appears to be literally consumed and devoured by her inner self, which takes both to another sphere.
Eva Birthistle and Tim Dutton play the part of the lonely hearts so well that the viewer becomes absorbed to the point that one feels very exposed and sensitive to their situation. You are at times not sure who to feel sympathy for. A first date "gone bad". How many times have we experienced such things or know people that have gone through the same experiences. Comical at moments, and also very uncomfortable, all at the same time. It reaches all emotional levels.
Love the ending!!!!!! Maybe there is a little glitter in the crack of dawn. A "must see"film.
A very poignant portrayal by all and brilliant directing and writing. Very effective! Much deserved accolades from the recent Myrtle Beach, SC, Film Festival
