Long Nights Short Mornings

I love and hate this film, 20 years ago this was me and I didn't know what was going on with me my life, it hit a real nerve and I can see what an idiot I was. And the damage I did to both myself and those around me.

I do hope that others watch this emotional film about the chaotic life that drugs and lack of self worth can drag you into. And I hope that the experiences and knowledge that someone who comes out the otherside gains makes them into a better and more rounded human being.

Long nights and short mornings is brutality honest and true representation of how crazy things can get. And watching this has astounded me so much its like a mirror. It will not be everyones cup of tea but it deserves a better rating.

I love it because it was my life, I hate it because I wasted so many years living this lifestyle.

Pushy, douchbag F-boys thinking that they're emotional gentlemen are the worst kind of characters to base a movie around. I don't care if he has dreamy, artsy ambitions for the future- that isn't cute, or a redeeming quality. And it's such a shame because this is a well constructed and performed indie drama, the exact kind of movie I'm drawn to, just the subject matter is so lame.

Also, why are there so many IMDB reviewers claiming they used to live the sort of lifestyle depicted in this film and can relate to it *so* much, so they *have* to give it a high rating to offset the low average score...weird.

This movie is a very real and accurate portrait of the modern millennial man, and his disconnection from REAL relationships. I found myself weeping at the end because i saw my own face in James, as I'm sure many men our age will, and i couldn't believe that there was a film that so accurately depicted the culture of booze and one night stands. Searching for that great SOMETHING in life, but getting in your own way. I spent so many years on alcohol and drugs, going from one meaningless relationship to another, all the while leaving a trail of broken hearts in my wake.. Little did i know though that in the end it was my own heart that would be broken most completely. The scene where he has sex with lily in the hallway, then pulls out right at the end, refusing to even finish inside her, because he didn't really care about her, and that's all he wanted from her in the first place, not even looking her in the eyes or saying goodbye. The look on her face, knowing that she had been used, really made me feel like crap. This movie is absolutely aching in its honest beauty. From the acting, to the soundtrack, and the writing. Ill place this movie up there with some of my very favorites of all time.

Well i don't usually write reviews but seeing a movie like this get an IMDb score of 5.2 is frustrating to say the least.

you don't have to live in NYC to relate to James and the fact that we know nothing about his previous life makes it even easier. in fact we only know how he spends hid nights since he broke up with his girlfriend. he could be me or you or anyone.

He is a really handsome guy thus having lots of success with random girls he flirts. but this happens to be the problem, he gets trapped in superficial relationships and the pleasure of having sex. his ego is huge and seems unable to form any kind of spiritual connection.

his only way of dealing with the problems he faces is alcohol and women even when that's exactly the problem, he responds with even more women.

In general it's a great movie that shows exactly the vanity that overwhelms our world and how superficial and temporary human relationships can get. How alone you feel deep down trying to fill that void with sex and drugs! it's a 9 from me. maybe i am not that objective with this one but it's definitely 7++

Really strongly I'm thinking what the whole movie was supposed to mean ? what we were supposed to get from that ? just see a man who is a real player and liar and sees different women . nevertheless the playing and theme song were good .
