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.

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 :)

Actress Chuti Tiu blew me away from beginning to end in this gem of an indie feature.
Chuti portrays this character well and the film itself is great with an
excellent editor and storyline. A great drama that takes you in deep into
the life of a frustrated sexually unsatisfied career woman that is married to a man that is lazy and hasn't worked a job in 2 years. The best part is she comes from
a super religious family and still does not care to do whatever she has to, to satisfy her needs. Great watch! Recommended!
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.
I tried to watch this movie due to the poster having an interesting/curious depiction of the main character. Boy was I wrong, very low budget and made for TV style of writing/filming. Maybe the movie would have worked if it was rated R and the main female character really committed some major sins to give her even more power over men. The pot head/jobless husband that doesn't pay attention to his hot wife and her old school parents pushing Asian tradition was pretty basic writing that isn't enough to build a movie around, at least a movie that someone would want to continue watching or pay for. But the high IMDb rating is what got me, now I can never trust the rating system on this site again if people are going to rate a movie like this so high, come on people, don't you know poop from gold! Geez!
