    Warming !!!

    Best film that I can remember !

    I would recommend this to any friends who are looking for a nice heartfelt film that isn't too long.

    For me personally it was one of he best movies of the year...

    I enjoyed it and think you would too.

    Love at First Sight is a good film, it's easy to connect to it, a very nice comedy.

    And the music is very great.

    I'm going to repeat myself WATCH THIS MOVIE.Happy watching.

    A delightful story of love at first sight told in just a few compelling minutes

    What a way to start my day!

    I found a link to this video via a publicity release. Out of curiosity, I followed it and was rewarded with 15 minutes of delight. This short story invoked several rapid fire emotions... humor, curiosity, anxiety and joy.

    As a male, I have suffered the earnest yearning that this young fellow feels toward a beautiful woman that he spies nearby. Without becoming a "stalker", he carefully orchestrates a series of attempts to attract his new love interest. That's all I can say without spoiling this viewing experience.

    This video captures those feelings of the young man and will probably remind all of the viewers of some of their own past love obsessions.

    Every street should be like this

    I liked this movie rather much. The photography and sound are great and the central story is nicely played.

    Generally if one uses the word 'charming' regarding a film it is not necessarily a good thing. In this case it is. I particularly enjoyed the use of the local characters in their own environment and the cut away's to these folk and how they informed the story, and again a 'risky' word, "whimsical" were the moments that really stuck out for me. There is a whimsy and slight poetic magical sensibility about it that is…….. well Charming. In this case a very good thing. A great little film.

    wonderful short film - must see it

    Loved this short film, completely captivating the acting is great and feels very natural and convincing that it just draws you in. Loved that is is globally universal with no dialogue...but you do not need it as the story is beautiful told through a great score and stunning cinematography and direction. There are not many films that leave you with a nice warm feeling at the end and a huge smile of how wonderful life is. Must be seen!!! I have seen it four times and I still enjoy it as much as the first time. Each time you get to enjoys all the detail and subtleties that make it such a great short...can not wait to see a full film from this director.

    Elegant, stylish and moving short film

    Elegant, stylish and moving film. Really enjoyed the film Beautifully shot.

    With fine performances from both lead actors.

    Hopefully the film will be shown even more widely now. The plot develops at a subtle pace. A new tenant develops an infatuation with a beautiful neighbour. The story then develops with humour and absorbs the viewer.

    I would enjoy watching the film again.

    Please Make an attempt to do likewise.

    Paul Davies.
