Pretty Rosebud is not your typical relationship drama. The story unfolds as the lead character is a product of a marriage of two cultures; one more prominent than the other. It shows the influences of the old country and the clashing of the new ways of their offspring. Claire also has the troubles of a broken marriage and tries to pick up the pieces and drown herself in her work as most workaholics do.
The story is very relatable to the first born children of immigrants in the US and the story is all too real. The actors did a phenomenal job of taking the dialog and made this story come to life. I was compelled to see what happens next. Each scene was beautifully shot and the production value was close to some indie studio productions.
This indie darling and festival award winner is definitely worth the watch. I'd keep an eye out for this one.

Pretty Rosebud is a very interesting relationship drama about Cissy and Phil whose marriage is on the rocks. Phil has been unemployed for a long time and is seemingly depressed and unaffectionate with his wife Cissy, which leads her to seek that attention and affection outside their marriage.
Many relationship dramas have been done before, but Pretty Rosebud has unique extra layers in the form of added pressure both culturally and religiously to remain faithful, build a family, etc. Chuti Tiu gives a great performance in the lead role as Cissy and perhaps it is no surprise that she connected so well with the material since she is also the film's screenwriter. Pretty Rosebud had me interested the whole way through and I was very eager to find out what would end up happening to Cissy. If you're looking for a high quality indie drama, I'd highly recommend Pretty Rosebud! 10/10!

Lead actress Chuti Tiu is amazing. The character she plays is challenged with balancing her career, family and the diffficulties of a marriage that is clearly falling apart. I find the topic of this film is all to real in our society today and Chuti's choice of this character is spot on and exceptional!!
Actor/Director Oscar Torre displays his true talents on both levels creating a canvas for this great cast to bring it all to life!! Bravo to the great cast and true vision of the creators of this great film.

I saw this movie with my boyfriend. It was quite refreshing to see such an honest film, one that takes an issue (in this case, adultery) and shows the pain, the issues, and the parties involved. I think many women can relate to the intricate secrets that we hold in our hearts but don't share with the world. Finally, a film that frankly portrays a woman who has desires typically attributed to men. And society disparages, if not maligns, women who display these desires. Hopefully, we will see more films like this – films that don't perpetuate the double standards that have plagued our society for millenia, films that illustrate how women, just like men, appreciate sexuality.

An excellent recommended Drama film !
It's a stunning, lovely film filled with plenty of cultural references very intriguing but as a campaign doesn't work much . The purpose of taking a small time - though long for a commercial - and watching it works perfectly, it's vivid and entertaining. Pretty Rosebud - Creative and engaging . Originality goes beyond anything. A real fun to watch. 10/10
Watch this movie a thousand times. Watch it a thousand times, a second time.This film has personality.More personality than a hamster. More personality than your cat. More personality than a hurricane.
it's good to see this in print and available. Most highly recommended.
Waiting the next movies of Oscar Torre :)
